Container does not start

instant · February 7, 2024, 3:37pm

Hello, I have followed the guide to install containers but although the Pihole container has been extracted correctly, it remains stopped and even if I press start it does not start, in the Log I do not see that it indicates anything. It makes an attempt to start but then stops again.

Try to enable logging for container (/container set 0 logging=yes), start and see if anything is logged from container in ROS logs.

instant · February 8, 2024, 8:41am

Done

execve: No such file or directory

I guess something went wrongv with image extraction or there is some problem with accessing usb disk partition; remove container, check if root directory is deleted and delete mount directories if exists, remove leading / in src mount directories (eg. /usb1-part1/etc → usb1-part1/etc) and create new container.
Check also if can actually write file on that usb disk partition (usb1-part1), if you did not already, upload some file on it and try to read it or download it back and check if same file content.

Do the following to make sure everything works:

Check if 172.17.0.2 is pingable
Check in File / Disks if usb1-part1 does exists. You’re pointing everything to this drive / partition but sometimes when you reformat a pen drive it sticks to USB1 (instead of usb1-part1).
Re-format the USB drive otherwise and see (2). Make sure the partition is correctly named usb1-part1 or usb1 and adjust your container script to refer to the correct path (pull / mounting etc.)
Check your container. You made an error in with the envlist. If should point to pihole_envs instead you pointed to usb1-part1
I’m not sure if the container code is simplified in this output but it should (ofcourse) have remote-image = pihole/pihole:latest. Otherwise nothing will be downloaded / extracted.

/container
add envlist=usb1-part1 interface=veth1 mounts=etc_pihole,dnsmasq_pihole
root-dir=usb1-part1/pihole start-on-boot=yes
