manual installation: adduser syntax
For the manual installation you suggest to create first an openhab user using the following command:
sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --group --disabled-login openhab
This syntax does not work on all linux systems:
# adduser --system --no-create-home --group --disabled-login openhab
adduser: group '--disabled-login' does not exist
The supported syntax on Fedora 33 that's adduser is provided by "shadow-utils-4.8.1-4.fc33.x86_64" is:
# adduser --help
Usage: adduser [options] LOGIN
adduser -D
adduser -D [options]
Options:
--badnames do not check for bad names
-b, --base-dir BASE_DIR base directory for the home directory of the
new account
--btrfs-subvolume-home use BTRFS subvolume for home directory
-c, --comment COMMENT GECOS field of the new account
-d, --home-dir HOME_DIR home directory of the new account
-D, --defaults print or change default useradd configuration
-e, --expiredate EXPIRE_DATE expiration date of the new account
-f, --inactive INACTIVE password inactivity period of the new account
-g, --gid GROUP name or ID of the primary group of the new
account
-G, --groups GROUPS list of supplementary groups of the new
account
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-k, --skel SKEL_DIR use this alternative skeleton directory
-K, --key KEY=VALUE override /etc/login.defs defaults
-l, --no-log-init do not add the user to the lastlog and
faillog databases
-m, --create-home create the user's home directory
-M, --no-create-home do not create the user's home directory
-N, --no-user-group do not create a group with the same name as
the user
-o, --non-unique allow to create users with duplicate
(non-unique) UID
-p, --password PASSWORD encrypted password of the new account
-r, --system create a system account
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR directory to chroot into
-P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR prefix directory where are located the /etc/* files
-s, --shell SHELL login shell of the new account
-u, --uid UID user ID of the new account
-U, --user-group create a group with the same name as the user
-Z, --selinux-user SEUSER use a specific SEUSER for the SELinux user mapping
So instead of --group the argument needs to be --user-group.
Also the option --disabled-login is not supported on this version. A better approach here would be --shell /sbin/nologin.
For Fedora 33 this one would work:
adduser --system --no-create-home --user-group --shell /sbin/nologin openhab
