Software SW bugs discussion

Hello,

I want to create LXC container but it’s impossible.
I have test on the luci web interface. The LXC container appear on available container but the process of creation apparantly run indefinitly.

With the CLI method :
root@turris:/srv/lxc# lxc-create -t download -n test
Setting up the GPG keyring
Downloading the image index

Downloading the rootfs

After long time :
i have this error

ERROR: Failed to download http://repo.turris.cz/lxc//images/ArchLinux/latest/armv7l/2020-08-09/rootfs.tar.xz.asc

It’s on HTTP, on the luci interface i have checked “use HTTPS” and i have all packages required : like ‘wget’, ‘ca-certificates’, ‘gnupg’ and ‘gnupg-utils’.

I have try to download directly and it’s run :
wget http://repo.turris.cz/lxc//images/ArchLinux/latest/armv7l/2020-08-09/rootfs.tar.xz.asc

Have you any idea ?

Thanks

Fabien

Maybe diference between “armv71(=one)” and armv7l(=character ‘l’)

3

Not even, i have copy and paste

Thank you for reporting this problem. It will be solved here: https://gitlab.nic.cz/turris/turris-os-packages/-/issues/655

Have you installed the Storage plugin and mounted an external disk? If not please do it and then try to create an LXC container again.

6

Thank you for your answer. I have added a mSata disk.
How can I add the storage plugin ?

7

It depends to the TOS version which you use. For example, in 5.1 it can be installed via reForis by checking NAS at Package Management -> Packages. Unfortunately, mounting external disks is not yet contained in reForis and it has to be done in Foris at the Storage page.

On reForis page :

And I have tried to create a container on CLI :
I have the same result
ERROR: Failed to download http://repo.turris.cz/lxc//images/ArchLinux/latest/armv7l/2020-08-26/rootfs.tar.xz.asc

Your disk is obviously not mounted. Please check the checkbox beside sda1 and press Format and Set (important: the disk will be formatted to btrfs). When done (see Notifications), your router has to be rebooted.

On Foris interface :

Then on CLI :
I have the same error

Please send your diagnostics (Diagnostics in Foris or Administration -> Diagnostics in reForis) to our support e-mail (tech.support@turris.cz). We will look at it.
