Problem installing HA in container

Fri Mar 14, 2025 2:45 pm

A couple of months ago I did a successful HA container install which ran without issues.
After my usb stick failed, I am trying to reinstall on a new one (following Mikrotik's instructions to the letter: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/R ... eAssistant)
After multiple fails (reformatting USB each time) arriving at stopped status but failing to run, I turned on container debugging and see each time that layers are dowloaded until I see about a 400M gzip in the pull directory, then the process idles for about 20 minutes while the container status still reports extracting, until I see another layer download which overwrites the gzip file in pull with a small size, and then immediately stopped as container status.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I tried a new disk and had success.
One oddity remains, and this was confusing me: I suppose there was some change of the "files" menu, as I no longer see the container files extracted on the USB during installation, neither in Webfig nor from the console. It seemed like each layer was being deleted without extraction, as I could not see those files created, as I had seen previously.
And after running the container I see files created by the container itself in Webfig, but still not the other files
