OpenBalena - Mention KVM as Preferred Virtualization #166

Closed dtischler closed 3 months ago

dtischler commented 4 years ago

A user had issues deploying OpenBalena when using OpenVZ and Virtuozzo based VPS's, however it worked right away when he attempted a KVM based virtual server on attempt number three. Forum post is located here: https://forums.balena.io/t/180828

It might be helpful if we added a small note that we recommend a KVM based server to the Getting Started Guide: https://www.balena.io/open/docs/getting-started

What output are you getting when running ./scripts/compose run s3 -it --rm (make sure to run ./scripts/compose down first)?

I'm getting:

Systemd init system enabled.
Failed to look up module alias 'autofs4': Function not implemented
Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd: Operation not permitted
[!!!!!!] Failed to mount API filesystems.
Exiting PID 1...

Which is caused by cgroups version 2.

Since all of our components are still running systemd in containers and systemd is not suitable for containers, we won't be supporting cgroups v2. We would more likely start moving slowly to a more container friendly init system, like s6.
