I'm following the commands at, and created my own answer that only worked once: How do you enable the secret-tool command (backed by gnome-keyring, libsecret and dbus) in a headless CentOS Docker container?. It worked once (I verified output of the secret in my console scroll), but then receive the error "secret-tool: Cannot create an item in a locked collection" again. Any idea why?
Here are the commands:
apt install dbus-x11 gnome-keyring libsecret # ~79MB
export $(dbus-launch)
eval "$(echo '\n' | gnome-keyring-daemon --unlock)"
echo [email protected] | secret-tool store --label="main" email address
echo $(secret-tool lookup email address)
Even after using -r to restart the daemon, killing the processes and rebooting. I cant get any new secrets even with different names, nor retrieve the stored one.
gnome-keyring-daemon --replacenot working for some reason. After terminating all instances ofgnome-keyring-daemonfrom btop (there were a few) and then runninggnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login,secret-toolis working again. Personal experience; your mileage may vary.
