This would usually indicate you are trying to set the user/group of the 
mod_wsgi daemon process with a user or group that doesn’t exist inside of the 
Docker image.

I seriously would advise against you trying to construct your own Docker image. 
Creating Docker images properly that follow best practices, especially if 
trying to run Apache is non trivial.

For now I would suggest you use my base image:

* https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi-docker 
<https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi-docker>

I have an even better base image than this one which can do a lot more and 
security wise is much better, but not yet ready to let people use the newer 
one. So try the grahamdumpleton/mod-wsgi-docker ones first.

If you think that creating Docker images is trivial, you might want to read 
some of my blog posts about some of the issues you need to deal with.

* http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2016/01/roundup-of-docker-issues-when-hosting.html 
<http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2016/01/roundup-of-docker-issues-when-hosting.html>

The image above I reference doesn’t adhere to all the things one should do, but 
the newer one will and more.
