How do I auto-hide the Ubuntu Dock using gsettings on Ubuntu 17.10 and later?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

In Ubuntu 17.04 with Unity I could auto-hide the launcher using this command:
dconf write "/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/launcher-hide-mode" 1
But this does not work in Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME 3. Now the "launcher" has become the "dock" also.
Note: I can do it from the Settings menu: Settings->Dock and click the toggle button for "Auto-hide the Dock" to "On", this is fine, but I am interesting in a scripting solution using e.g., gsettings, such that this feature can be turned on automatically when I install a new Ubuntu machine.

Open Terminal and run
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock dock-fixed false
Then run
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock autohide true
Also you can toggle "intellihide" (dock dodges windows) on/off by
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock intellihide true/false
and set the intellihide mode by
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock intellihide-mode 'OPTION'
To get the available intellihide-mode options run
gsettings range org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock intellihide-mode

Thanks for the suggestion, but it seems it does not work. If I first switch auto-hide off from the System settings, then rungsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock autohide truethe dock does not hide.

Ok, I turned off "intellihide":gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock intellihide false. Then I restarted my machine, and then checked that the settings for "autohide" was still there:gsettings get org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock autohide-->true. But the launcher still does not auto-hide. (Using, the system settings menu still enables me to make it auto-hide, though)

@HåkonHægland I would not recommend editing system files, but as other methods are not working for you, as a last resort you may try overriding glib schemas. Run (as root)echo autohide=true >> /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/10_ubuntu-dock.gschema.overrideand then recompile it byglib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/.
