Hi. I have GNS3 and Dynamips work on VM. How I can correctly save project with router configs ?

Issue apers when power down on PC . Files on VM is corrupted. And after open project I have error: Cannot access the private-config /opt/gns3/projects/78f49894-3ef1-46e0-bf8b-73a6fcfa9928/project-files/dynamips/3ed72e1b-7890-4a54-8f3b-22a3e44cb0d8/configs/i1_private-config.cfg: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/gns3/projects/78f49894-3ef1-46e0-bf8b-73a6fcfa9928/project-files/dynamips/3ed72e1b-7890-4a54-8f3b-22a3e44cb0d8/configs/i1_private-config.cfg'

If I do export/import project I have this error:

Can't move C:\Users\oleksii.zakharenko\GNS3\projects\VoliaCore\project-files\dynamips\dynamips_i8_stdout.txt: [WinError 32] process cannot have access to file 'C:\Users\oleksii.zakharenko\GNS3\projects\VoliaCore\project-files\dynamips\dynamips_i8_stdout.txt'

@404Ghost99 is this issue blocking for you?

[nauliajati]

yes, this issue happen in every time, when i'm starting to export my gns3 lab

also, i found this error when i'm starting to open gns3 at the first time after reboted my computer "Timeout after 10 seconds for request http://user@127.0.0.1:3080/v2/version" if i use gns doctor to find the probles is "WARNING The vmrun executable could not be found, VMware VMs cannot be used", meanwhile i didn't use any gnsvm or another vm like vbox / vmware, or whatever vm.. i'm ruuning gns3 in my local server. my system in use is Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.

found similar issue also, whenever i tried to export to portable project (which i always choose No in 'include base image to project?'), the portable filesize is as big as a portable project with images.

GNS3 2.1.9, running in Linux Mint Mate 18 64bit.

@iboygp please look inside the portable project using a zip tool and check if the images are there.

Thanks.

@grossmj hi Jeremy, i tried your suggestion and i found that the file consists of a big size of docker folder, not the IOS/IOU images

i use AJnouri's nginx container to emulate webserver and Network Automation appliance to emulate clients in that project, so maybe i should switch to Toolbox appliance.

thanks for your reply.

@404Ghost99 do you have this issue with version 2.1.11. Also, what Docker image have you used? Do you only get this error when using Docker containers?

Thanks!
