It's literally #!/bin/sh # several lines of comment docker --data-root /home/user/docker || true echo '1.2.3.4 my-domain.example' >> /etc/hosts echo '1.2.3.4 another-domain.example' >> /etc/hosts Yes, when I run the script myself with sudo ./rc.local then it works fine. Argh. I think I've found the issue. It's the command to start docker that's causing the rest of the file to be ignored :( I had presumed it was erroring, so appending || true would get me around that. But didn't think that the dockerd command could be running in the foreground. So, not for the first time, user error instead of an issue with the setup of Qubes itself! Any ideas where I could find the output when this file is run? That may help me track down similar issues next time around.
