How to get the debian cloudImage working

[nano2007]

Discussed in #954

^{Originally posted by nano2007 February 24, 2023}
I am trying to follow the documentation to create a debian based cloud image. The yaml file for creating the osartifact manifest is:

kairos-debian.yaml.txt

I then create a VM in a KVM box by importing the created raw disk image. Here are the boot logs:

kairos-debian-boot.log

After the VM boots, I do not see an installation or reboot happening.

The same config file works for the opensuse:latest image (where I can see the installation and reboot and the COS_STATE and COS_PERSISTENT partitions exist after the reboot).

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you !

Same problem seen with ubuntu:latest too.

Hey @nano2007 👋 thanks for bringing this up!

we did released 1.6.0 that had bunch of fixes, some regarding debian especially. Is the issue persisting? I can't notice nothing wrong in your setup for now

I did try the 1.6.1 release and this is fixed. Thanks @mudler :)

There are some problems I am facing though (not all of them related to cloudImages):

• The machine gets an IP address from dhcp, but there is no /etc/resolv.conf and hence all name resolutions fail. If I do a "dhcpclient " then the /etc/resolv.conf file gets created.
• I am trying to do some customisation of the image , but I am not able to figure out what lifecycle-events are applicable for a cloudImage creation.
• Also does auroraboot support creation of cloudImages? I do not see an option for this in the docs.

Awesome! glad to hear! Can we close this issue right?

Sounds like a bug to me

* I am trying to do some customisation of the image , but I am not able to figure out what lifecycle-events are applicable for a cloudImage creation.

Can you expand in a thread? I'd be happy to help, but I need a little bit of more context

* Also does auroraboot support creation of cloudImages? I do not see an option for this in the docs.

At the moment it doesn't, please file up a ticket for it so we will extend it :)

Could you file up separate bugs/discussions so we can tackle them in our sprints? thank you!

resolved by release 1.6.1.

For the other problems I am seeing I will start new discussion threads/bugs.

Thanks!
