Help, newie user. Loading kernel modules

Hello everyone,

I’m new to TrueNAS, having recently migrated from QNAP. I have my system up and running, and I need to configure services like Home Assistant.

To do this, I’m using Zigbee2MQTT with a hub that requires the cp210x and usbserial kernel modules.

On my QNAP NAS, I could simply run modprobe to load the module, and everything worked fine. However, in TrueNAS SCALE, modprobe is not available, and I’m unsure about the correct way to load these modules.

I’ve searched the forums but haven’t found a clear solution. ChatGPT suggested adding the modules with:

bash

CopiarEditar

echo cp210x | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo usbserial | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

However, I’m not sure if this will work properly or if it could cause issues with the system.

Does anyone have experience with this or know the correct way to enable these modules in TrueNAS SCALE? Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

sudo modprobe ?

% which modprobe
/usr/sbin/modprobe

My bad
Sudo worked perfectly
