7.4 beta 4 - Container --- imported OK but will not start

Fri Jun 17, 2022 1:16 pm

Hello,

I have a "hAP ac^2" I am testing on, with an external USB as disk1 (filesystem is ext4).
Installed 7.4beta4, added container package and enabled the device-mode container=yes.
Proceeded with simple setup in help-page (added veth, bridge, IP's etc).
Run:
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] > container add remote-image=alpine:latest interface=veth1 root-dir=disk1/alpine
[admin@MikroTik] > container/print 
 0 name="b57c5449-c006-4d97-9b93-b9687d2f8c79" tag="library/alpine:latest" os="linux" arch="arm" interface=veth1 root-dir=disk1/alpine 
   mounts="" dns="" status=stopped 
[admin@MikroTik] > container/start 0

[admin@MikroTik] > container/print 
 0 name="b57c5449-c006-4d97-9b93-b9687d2f8c79" tag="library/alpine:latest" os="linux" arch="arm" interface=veth1 root-dir=disk1/alpine 
   mounts="" dns="" status=stopped 
[admin@MikroTik] >

So the container will not start. Similarly with
Code: Select all
 ubuntu:latest

(also pulled succesfully).

What should I look at next? What info might you need from me for suggestions?

Thank you

probably not enough memory for downloading and extracting layers. Use pre-build or pre-fetched image instead. Variant B or C in docs

similar thing here with RB5009 (lots of memory ?)
Code: Select all
[admin@rb5009] > /container/config/set registry-url=https://registry-1.docker.io
[admin@rb5009] > container add remote-image=ubuntu:latest interface=veth1 root-dir=disk1/ubuntu logging=yes
[admin@rb5009] > /container/print 
 0 name="73878b3d-cfee-45d9-bb7c-bf8baf0f14f6" tag="library/ubuntu:latest" os="linux" arch="arm64" interface=veth1 
   root-dir=disk1/ubuntu mounts="" dns="" logging=yes status=stopped 
[admin@rb5009] > /container/start number=0
[admin@rb5009] > /container/print 
 0 name="73878b3d-cfee-45d9-bb7c-bf8baf0f14f6" tag="library/ubuntu:latest" os="linux" arch="arm64" interface=veth1 root-dir=disk1/ubuntu mounts="" dns="" logging=yes status=running

it runs for a moment (<1s) and then stops. same with debian image. in my case disk1 is an 8gb usb2 flash drive freshly formatted in winbox as ext4, but same behavior if I try to it on the device's storage

Edit: pihole image is working, so yes it's probably something to do with the images ?

Re: 7.4 beta 4 - Container --- imported OK but will not start

I try method B from the docs, for both alpine:latest architecture /arm/v6 and /arm/v7 , and I get the same error for both cases (BTW, which one should I use?):
Code: Select all
 error: could not find image manifest in archive

the digests used to pull were, respectively:
sha256:3c66139adbd2513f9fc56eff206513ffc8356b282bed31a4e74c7eb926b850aa --- armv6
sha256:0615cdd745d0b78e7e6ac3a7b1f02e4daefa664eae0324120955f4e4c91bea3f --- armv7

any ideas?

I can confirm method B does not work for the alpine container either. What containers are actually working besides pihole?

Try enable logging for Container

/system/logging/add topics=container action=memory
and
/container/set logging=yes numbers=0

I used A method to deploy PiHole container on my RB4011 and it works but not 100%
PiHole starts but if i try change settings nothing happen and i see error in logs - sudo: effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?

are you running any command inside container? If not this is how it should behave.

try runnign sshd for example. add Dockerfile with contents:
Code: Select all
FROM alpine:latest

RUN \
  apk update && \
  apk add openrc --no-cache && \
  apk add openssh-server && \
  rc-update add sshd && \
  rc-status && \
  touch /run/openrc/softlevel && \
  echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
RUN echo "root:root" | chpasswd
EXPOSE 22
CMD ["sh" , "-c", "service sshd restart && sh && tail -f /dev/null"]
then run:
Code: Select all
docker buildx build  --no-cache --platform arm -t test_arm64 .
docker save test_arm64 > test_arm.tar

Ok Interesting! I'll try it like that & expecting good results. Thanks:)

I did BUILDX from your Dockerfile and uploaded to Docker Hub and got running containers for platforms linux/arm/v6 and linux/arm/v7 on the hAP ac^2 (both installed from remote-image=... )

Both images running.

Q1: which should I use for hAP ac^2, v6 or v7? for RB4011?

Q2: I try to ping / SSH into the containers (bridge address 172.17.0.1, container veth addresses 172.17.0.2 and 172.17.03 for the 2 containers respectively). Only 172.17.0.2 is accessible, any suggestions? Thank you

All base OS images need a command to run, otherwise they're just a bunch of files extracted to the overlay FS. It would be nice to be able to spec the command to be run even for these images in ROS, like for standard docker tools.

There are no port mappings in this config panel, will they be added later?

both armv6 and armv7 works on my rb4011, alpine.
neither armv6 nor armv7 not works on my rb4011, busybox.
yes i'm using buildx too.

veth ip shuld be set before container created. it won't be change after container deployed.
