Your command looks correct. sudo shoudn’t be required here.
Your issue might be that you are executing the code to early. TrueNAS also does user synchronization on startup. Your command might be executed before TrueNAS does it’s user sync, in which case your changes would quickly get undone.
Try this as command:
sleep 120; usermod -aG docker vscodethis worked thanks! i was able to shorten it to sleep 10 and all is fine.
just logging this for future reference for myself or anyone. updated to the recent point release: 25.10.1 - Goldeye and it reset docker:
along with having to manually add users to the docker group because you cant do it in the frontend, this might not be sustainable.
you can add in the UI (Scale 25.10.3), as long as you add it as the Primary group.
in 25.10.3.1 - Goldeye i dont see that as possible:
actually dont see anyone in the docker group even though they are being set via init script:
That is not what I see in mine: 25.10.3 - Goldeye
edit: I just updated to 25.10.3.1. No changes.
I just created a new user:
It was created normally.
weird if i try to add members to the docker group using the group manager i get:
i clearly have users in the group, though, as im doing it via init scrips:
$ getent group docker
docker:x:999:truenas_admin,vscode
for some reason my users that i assign to the docker group via init script are being removed:
init scripts:
sleep 10; usermod -aG docker truenas_admin; usermod -aG docker vscode
and this for when truenas is updated and docker disables itself again:
systemctl enable docker; systemctl start docker
group check
truenas_admin@truenasty[~]$ groups
truenas_admin builtin_administrators
and i cant set it manually anymore:
truenas_admin@truenasty[~]$ sudo usermod -aG docker truenas_admin
[sss_cache] [confdb_init] (0x0010): Unable to open config database [/var/run/sssd-cache/db/config.ldb]
Could not open available domains
truenas_admin@truenasty[~]$ getent group docker
docker:x:999:truenas_admin
if i reboot, everything is back to normal
