Can't run validate.php inside container

Hello,
I have LibreNMS running inside a container and when I try to run the validate.php I get and error that I shouldn’t run it as root. But when I go to run it as non-root user, I get a FAIL error saying I need to “run this script as ‘librenms’ or root”!
How do I get this working? Thank you!

librenms:/opt/librenms# ./validate.php
Do not run validate.php as root
librenms:/opt/librenms# su librenmsadmin
/opt/librenms $ ./validate.php

Thank you!
Running the validate using “docker compose exec --user librenms librenms php validate.php” works.
