I am expermenting with a container that is very minimal, essentially busybox and one other process. Files cherry-picked from Alpine into an empty rootfs. Not using alpine or any other base images.
Rootfs built by hand.
When I attempt to start a container from this image it fails with the output shown below. However, if I try to start it a second time then it works. And it works thereafter. It’s only the first time it doesn’t work. If I delete the container and recreate from the same image then it fails again, like before, for the first attempt to start and works thereafter.
I suspect I am missing something from the rootfs but I don’t know what. I am using LXD 4.12 on an ArchLinux host running with systemd 248.
