### Apache Airflow version 2.10.5 ### If "Other Airflow 2 version" selected, which one? _No response_ ### What happened? I installed Airflow using docker and ran the contained examples, all went to #task-state-changed-externally. When setting AIRFLOW_UID, everything works fine. Took me several days to find that error. There is only a warnign during docker compose, afterwards nothing indicates it. **Details**: OS: Windows 10.0.22631 /Windows 11 Enterprise Docker: Docker version 27.5.1-rd, build 0c97515 Desktop: Rancher 1.18.2 with CE:moby and Kubernetes deactivated docker-compose.yaml: original from https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/2.10.5/docker-compose.yaml today **env:** C:\Users\user> $env:AIRFLOW_UID C:\Users\dtollkoe> $env:AIRFLOW_IMAGE_NAME apache/airflow:2.10.5 **Installation:** C:\Users\users\Documents\dockerfiles\Airflow> docker compose up airflow-init ... airflow-init-1 exited with code 0 C:\Users\users\Documents\dockerfiles\Airflow> docker compose up -d **Result:** All example dags result in Executor CeleryExecutor(parallelism=32) reported that the task instance <TaskInstance: example_python_decorator.print_the_context manual__2025-04-08T11:17:36.080018+00:00 [queued]> finished with state failed, but the task instance's state attribute is queued. Learn more: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/troubleshooting.html#task-state-changed-externally **Further comments:** I have identified that out of the resons given at the URL in the eror message, zombie is the relevant one.   When setting AIRFLOW_UID, everything works fine. Also, only dags not run before get that error. I.e., when I do install with AIRFLOW_UID set, run some dags, remove containers and images, reinstall and run these dags again, they work fine. ### What you think should happen instead? 1. Use default value of 5000 AIRFLOW_UID if env variable is not set 2. Clear error message for the error - currently only the obscure #task-state-changed-externally is present ### How to reproduce Described in "what happened". Please ask if further info helps. ### Operating System WSL Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS ### Versions of Apache Airflow Providers Docker via docker-compose.yaml ### Deployment Official Apache Airflow Helm Chart ### Deployment details _No response_ ### Anything else? _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit PR? - [ ] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
