iotedgectl setup failed in Azure VM

iotedgectl setup failed

I'm trying to setup iotedgectl following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/tutorial-simulate-device-windows in my Azure VM (VM spec is given below)

Python and iotedgectl versions, running on the VM, are given below

Script I executed is similar to below iotedgectl setup --connection-string "<conn string>" --nopass --edge-hostname <a shorter hostname>

Error I'm getting is given below

Hi @shasdas ,

Can you check your docker installation? From the logs it looks like it was not able to connect to docker (timed out).

BTW, next release we have already better logs to point our problems with docker.

Try it out and let us know,

Thanks,

Angelo Ribeiro.

Thanks @aribeironovaes for your input. Yes, issue is related to docker installation and in my Azure VM (spec is given above in a screen shot) I could see MobiLinuxVM failed to start as shown below. This VM spec I chose because I use this as dev box. I'm doing a PoC on IoT edge at the moment and using same VM for that purpose. Do I need to create a VM of different spec or this should be sufficient? Your input would be a great help.

Hi @shasdas ,

So, please, check this github issue here: https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/574 and follow the instructions to check if Docker starts on your machine.

Although I haven't tried to run docker on an Azure Virtual Machine I don't believe it would be a problem.
I also found this Stack Overflow discussion that seems similar with the problem you are having. Somebody told that it is not possible to enable nested virtualization, but last answer says it's possible. So, you may try... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44817161/installing-docker-on-azure-virtual-machine-windows-10

If you keep having problem with that I would switch to a real machine (if you can), or open a ticker on Azure VM to check if they have a better solution.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Angelo Ribeiro.

Hi @aribeironovaes ,

I tried the option mentioned in stackoverflow, that did not work for me. Thanks for linking this issue with docker/for-win#574 . Have gone through this, seems Windows 10 Azure VM might not work to run docker, Windows 2016 Server Azure VM should be good for this. Let's see if someone responds on this. Thank You!

Hi @aribeironovaes ,

Today I found that in Windows 10 Enterprise (Azure VM) can also be fine if Standard D4s v3 (4 vcpus, 16 GB memory) VM is chosen, this supports nested virtualization thus running docker should be fine. Finally iotedgectl setup should work as expected.

Previously I was using a Standard DS2 v2 (2 vcpus, 7 GB memory) VM. Today I created a Standard D4s v3 (4 vcpus, 16 GB memory) VM and able to run iotedgectl setup on it.

Cool! Thanks for the update!
