No, the only issue i had was that incus mounts the gpu to a different directory then exected by docker so you have to fix that as explained in the link below

I see that topic a bit deviated from the start message.

Here is my situation - I had old TrueNas 13. I have migrated to 25.10.2.1. My user is member of wheel group.

I just have installed a new drive, created a new pool and moved all the data to that pool.

I want to remove my old pool and old drives - and in order to do that I need to change my user home folder.

However if I try to edit it - it shows error that users who is in wheels Auxilitary group could not be modified.

I tried to remove myself from this group:

  • through Users UI it says that user of wheel group could not be modified (Actually Auxilitary group edit box is empty at all, even though in view mode it shows Wheel)

  • through Groups UI - it tried to re-add ROOT user for some reason- and fails at that operation

  • If I remove even root user from wheels group - it complains that wheel groups is created for user root - so root could not be removed

  • if I tried deluser gorbush wheel
    deluser: The user gorbush' is not a member of group wheel’

  • I also tried usermod - see the same error about Unable to open config database

So how do I change the home folder?

This is very problematic. I can no longer utilize docker from the cli without sudo. I was a member of the “docker” group, but now I cannot add my user back to the docker group.

Please make it possible to add users to the docker group…

$ sudo gpasswd -a “wes” docker
Adding user wes to group docker
[sss_cache] [confdb_init] (0x0010): Unable to open config database [/var/run/sssd-cache/db/config.ldb]

What the f*ck TrueNAS? Now I can’t even edit UID 1000 because it was in the root group. (I can’t even remove it from the root group.)

Update: Upgraded to 25.04 from 24.10 and cannot change user password - #16 by NicholasFlamy

Update: I can override the checks using the TrueNAS CLI (cli command while sshed in) and run account user update uid_or_username=1000 and make an edit and uncomment the line I’m editing while keeping the correct indentation (just like I did for my MacOS VM custom config).
