Hassos docker command not found

Hi,

Im trying to follow this guide:

https://megamorphf.github.io/homeassistant/hyperion/ssh/hassio/2018/01/22/controlling-anything-via-ssh.html

To allow keyless SSH logons to other computers.

I got the SSH keyless connection going and are logged in as root through SSH onto the machine.

However when i try the “docker” command it just says “command not found”

I read in a forum that you have to issue the “Login” command before you can actually do the commands. But when i do that i get prompted with username and password. And none of my existing works here.

I’m running HassOS 1.11
Version 140
Home Assistant
0.80.0

Any hints on how to proceed?

Best regards

You need to be logged in as user hassio. You can only achieve that by following this guide:

https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/en/hassio_debugging.html

TLDR: Configure a USB with a public authroized key. Insert it into your hassio RPI, boot up.

Then SSH to IP:22222 with the private key from putty.

You are now logged in as hassio user. From here type “login” after that, you can issue the docker command.

thanks!this is very helpful.

In my case I run KVM on my RPI which has debin as OS. I just did virt-manager while SSHed into RPI and there clicked open on my hassio KVM which put me directly in console with all the priviledges and being able to issue docker command. Just a note for our KVM guys.
