      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.
