    When I try to add a group in the terminal with
    "sudo groupadd newgroup", I get the following:
    groupadd: cannot lock /etc/group; try again later.

    I need to add this group, so that I can add www-data to this group

      @oschelde try that on the host itself, not an app container terminal.

        @oschelde can you give us more context? Why do you want to add www-data to another group? I can't think of a practical situation where this is needed on Cloudron.
