[Question] Why is wetty prompting for my username at login?

[vedantroy]

I'm trying to use wetty in a docker container running as root. When I visit the webpage, I see the following:

vedantroy login:

I'm mostly confused as to how wetty knows my personal username, since wetty is being run inside of a docker container as follows:

"~/.volta/bin/wetty --port 7998 --ssh-user=root --ssh-pass password"

How do I tell wetty know my personal usernamE?

The underlying question, is I want to run wetty inside of my docker container and have it just work (tm). I know the docker user is root, yet this is not working and I'm not sure why.
