Running Unity CLI on Headless Linux to build open source project - license issue

How can I run Unity CLI on Linux to build my project without getting the dreaded "Failed to activate/update license" error. Why do I need a license to do a build from the command line? This works fine for Unity CLI on macOS and Windows.

Launching Unity from the UI and signing in once is not an option as I am trying to do this on Travis CI.

Here's my .travis.yml file and related install + build scripts and here's the failing build

You can create and use a license file following next steps.

Create license file:

/opt/unity-editor-2018.3.0f2/Editor/Unity -batchmode -createManualActivationFile -logfile -nographics

Go to https://license.unity3d.com/manual and upload ulf generated file

Use downloaded ulf file:

/opt/unity-editor-2018.3.0f2/Editor/Unity -batchmode -manualLicenseFile Unity_v2018.x.ulf -logfile -nographics

That's all

The doc Command line arguments mentions serial, username and password. But they seem not in your build scripts.

Also try the lastest build of Unity3D for linux. There is a fix in the lastest release (5.6.0b10):

Fix "Manage License" UI regression

UPDATE

Just found a post about your problem. Hope it helps.

1) Network issue - Some education users will have internal network and lack of internet access (can you verify if you can ping to https://core.cloud.unity3d.com/api/login on command line?).

2) To verify if it is a CACerts.pem issue, can you follow this code:
https://github.com/justin-zheng/travisbuildtest
CACerts.pem is included in the repository Add the CACerts.pem to the Unity license folder (in the user's .local directory: ~/.local/share/unity3d/Certificates/)
