OpenShift CRC fails to start in LXD

1

Hi, I cannot get OpenShfit to work in an LXD container:

On my machine:

$ lxd --version
4.3
$ lxc config get openshift security.nesting
true
$ uname -r
4.19.0-9-amd64
$ grep PRETTY_NAME /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"

In my openshift LXD container:

[openshift@openshift ~]$ /opt/crc-linux-1.13.0-amd64/crc start
INFO Checking if oc binary is cached

[openshift@openshift ~]$ grep PRETTY_NAME /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 8 (Core)"

Hope you can help, it would be awesome to have that giant contained :smile:

There’s a fair few mentions of libvirt/qemu in there, did you add /dev/kvm to your container?

lxc config device add openshift kvm unix-char path=/dev/kvm should do the trick for that part at least.

But that’s really just gueswork, the error above isn’t very verbose :slight_smile:

I should’ve included this in my original post, sorry.

$ lxc config show openshift

shows this device section:

devices:
  kvm:
    path: /dev/kvm
    type: unix-char
  tun:
    path: /dev/net/tun
    type: unix-char
  vhost-net:
    path: /dev/vhost-net
    type: unix-char
  vhost-vsock:
    path: /dev/vhost-vsock
    type: unix-char

The /dev/kvm one was required to get past the KVM check in crc:

INFO Checking if KVM is enabled

Any other suggestions? :crossed_fingers:

Did you get CRC running in LXD after all?

Please let us know! Thanks.

No, I’m stuck.
