On a reboot, you will have to do the following commands as sudo: -```$ bootc usr-overlay ; dnf -y reinstall cockpit-ws ; systemctl restart cockpit.socket``` - ### BootcBlade will no longer build The default tag used for ```centos-bootc``` is referenced in ```templates/bootcblade.containerfile.j2``` - its possible that there was a kernel update, or a release update, that breaks ZFS. Usually these issues are transient and resolve on their own. If you need a build now (perhaps for a fresh system) you can try and see if there is an older release (tag) from the upstream repo, and adjust it using the ```bootc_image_tag``` variable. @@ -87,7 +83,7 @@ if this is defined - so this can override the default and remove that | create_user_password | X | - | | create_user_ssh_pub | X | X | | create_user_shell | X | - | -| bootc_image_tag | X | - | +| bootc_image_tag | X | - | | bootc_acknowledge | X | - | ### iso.yml @@ -97,7 +93,7 @@ if this is defined - so this can override the default and remove that | create_user_password | X | - | | create_user_ssh_pub | X | X | | create_user_shell | - | - | -| bootc_image_tag | X | - | +| bootc_image_tag | X | - | | bootc_acknowledge | - | - | ### update.yml @@ -107,6 +103,22 @@ if this is defined - so this can override the default and remove that | create_user_password | - | - | | create_user_ssh_pub | - | - | | create_user_shell | - | - | -| bootc_image_tag | X | - | +| bootc_image_tag | X | - | | bootc_acknowledge | - | - | +## Hacks / Workarounds +### ZFS +I ran into a few problems with ZFS - the ZFS on Linux packages for CentOS didn't quite work for CentOS Stream. +Yes the older kernel was still in use and didn't change major versions however sometimes Red Hat backported changes from newer kernels. +I considered using Fedora Server (instead of CentOS Stream) however the problem was reverse then, sometimes Fedora changes major kernel versions mid-release. +So I settled with using CentOS Stream for the base and the Fedora ZoL release packages. I may tweak the code or the exact release being used but this seems +to be the most stable so far. + +### Cockpit +I ran into a problem where the ```cockpit-ws``` package would not install onto the base image [https://github.com/containers/bootc/issues/571](https://github.com/containers/bootc/issues/571). +There was some advice in that thread about using the containerized version of ```cockpit-ws``` so that is what I am doing, however this is being applied after deployment via Ansible +and not baked into the image. +[https://quay.io/repository/cockpit/ws](https://quay.io/repository/cockpit/ws) + +This also explains why I'm using rpm vs dnf to install the 45Drives Cockpit packages - they have a dependency on ```cockpit-ws``` that I need to override. +Once the official ```cockpit-files``` package is released I will be using that instead of ```cockpit-navigator```. |
