vJunos-switch unable to connect to QEMU monitor

[mpenning]

Under debian bookworm, I built a vJunos-switch image from vJunos-switch-23.2R1.14.qcow2 with hellt/vrnetlab v0.16.0 and got the following when I tried to boot into containerlab...

Running docker logs -f <containerid_hash>...

My containerlab is:

How do I fix this?

@hellt I managed to boot a couple of vJunos-switch images on a Digital Ocean droplet with 16GB of RAM... I will close this out since I think my original problem was due to insufficient RAM to boot the Junos docker image.

Great @mpenning ! Thanks for circling back on this
