Cloud-init (and therefore terraform) are failing, how to fix it?

Description

Hello everyone, First of all, I would like to thank you for the fantastic work. That's not just a polite saying, this project is really great!

But I have the problem that the cloud-init.service won't start. The error in journalctl is:

Aug 07 07:50:58 testserver cloud-init[2125]: 2024-08-07 07:50:58,038 - util.py[WARNING]: Failed loading yaml blob. unacceptable character #xdcfc: special characters are not allowed

Digging a little deeper you find:

k3s-control-plane-nbg1-fve:/ # cat /run/cloud-init/result.json 
{
 "v1": {
  "datasource": "DataSourceHetzner",
  "errors": [
   "('resizefs', ValueError(\"invalid literal for int() with base 10: '10\\\\n-EXPERIMENTAL -INJECT -STATIC +LZO +ZSTD +UDEV +FSVERITY +ZONED CRYPTO=builtin'\"))"
  ]
 }
}

This seems to be the reason why terraform is dying like this:

module.kube-hetzner.null_resource.first_control_plane (remote-exec): /tmp/terraform_1260129824.sh: line 3: /etc/cloud/rename_interface.sh: No such file or directory
╷

I followed the instructions in the README and only made the necessary adjustments in the kube.tf (ssh keys, reduced the number of servers), see kube.tf.

What can I do? Where does this "unacceptable character #xdcfc" (see above) comes from?

Best wishes Gregor

Otherwise, you need to turn off the automatic upgrades (see README). # **It must always be an ODD number, never even!** Search the internet for "split-brain problem with etcd" or see https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ha-embedded/ # For instance, one is ok (non-HA), two is not ok, and three is ok (becomes HA). It does not matter if they are in the same nodepool or not! So they can be in different locations and of various types. # Of course, you can choose any number of nodepools you want, with the location you want. The only constraint on the location is that you need to stay in the same network region, Europe, or the US. # For the server type, the minimum instance supported is cx22. The cax11 provides even better value for money if your applications are compatible with arm64; see https://www.hetzner.com/cloud. # IMPORTANT: Before you create your cluster, you can do anything you want with the nodepools, but you need at least one of each, control plane and agent. # Once the cluster is up and running, you can change nodepool count and even set it to 0 (in the case of the first control-plane nodepool, the minimum is 1). # You can also rename it (if the count is 0), but do not remove a nodepool from the list. # You can safely add or remove nodepools at the end of each list. That is due to how subnets and IPs get allocated (FILO). # The maximum number of nodepools you can create combined for both lists is 50 (see above). # Also, before decreasing the count of any nodepools to 0, it's essential to drain and cordon the nodes in question. Otherwise, it will leave your cluster in a bad state. # Before initializing the cluster, you can change all parameters and add or remove any nodepools. You need at least one nodepool of each kind, control plane, and agent. # ⚠️ The nodepool names are entirely arbitrary, but all lowercase, no special characters or underscore (dashes are allowed), and they must be unique. # If you want to have a single node cluster, have one control plane nodepools with a count of 1, and one agent nodepool with a count of 0. # Please note that changing labels and taints after the first run will have no effect.

@mysticaltech any idea where the issue is? updates in cloud-init? or Hetzner api? This is also affecting me currently

mysticaltech commented 1 month ago

Will have a look today

mysticaltech commented 1 month ago

Thanks for the debug @ggruening. Appreciate the details.

mysticaltech commented 1 month ago

Folks, I tried on my end with cx21 and cpx11 with both an old image and a newly rebuilt one. In both instances everything works fine.

So please try to debug more, especially in your case @ggruening, for instance, SSH into the server and try running the failed script /tmp/terraform_1260129824.sh manually. Also inspect its content.

Last but not least, follow all the debug tips in the debug section in the readme, like fetching the journalctl error logs.

mysticaltech commented 1 month ago

Response from gpt-4o, it might help.

Hello @ggruening and @maaft ,

I've been following this thread closely and noticed the issue with cloud-init failing to parse certain characters in your YAML configuration on openSUSE MicroOS. I'd like to suggest a few steps that might help in diagnosing and potentially resolving this issue:

Step-by-Step Debugging Approach

1. Check and Validate the YAML

The error related to an "unacceptable character" in your YAML file suggests a potential character encoding issue or a hidden/special character that isn't easily visible:

Inspect the specific location in the YAML file: Open the YAML file and navigate to the position indicated in the error message (position 6908) to check for any unusual characters.
Validate YAML: Use an online tool to validate the YAML's syntax, ensuring that there are no hidden issues.

2. Re-run cloud-init

Since the environment is based on openSUSE MicroOS, you might need to be cautious about file immutability and system states:

Clean up cloud-init:
```
sudo cloud-init clean
```
Manually initialize cloud-init:
```
sudo cloud-init init
sudo cloud-init modules --mode config
sudo cloud-init modules --mode final
```
This can help refresh the configuration and apply the settings afresh.

3. Enhanced Logging

Monitor logs for real-time errors:
```
sudo journalctl -u cloud-init
```
This command will give you a real-time output of what cloud-init is doing and where it might be failing.

4. Data Inspection

Understanding what data cloud-init is handling could provide insights into potential misconfigurations:

Query cloud-init's user data:
```
sudo cloud-init query userdata
```
Query all data:
```
sudo cloud-init query --all
```

Considerations for openSUSE MicroOS

Encoding Issues: Ensure that the configuration files are encoded in UTF-8. Encoding discrepancies can often lead to such issues.
File Permissions and Integrity: Given the security model of MicroOS, double-check that file permissions and integrity settings are correctly configured.

These steps should provide a comprehensive approach to troubleshooting the issue at hand. If the problem persists, it might be beneficial to isolate the configuration to a simpler setup to determine if the issue is systemic or configuration-specific.

Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

mysticaltech commented 1 month ago

If you can share the full cloud-init logs and especially the user-data (probably encoded in base64) it would be great.

ggruening commented 1 month ago

Hey @mysticaltech (gpt-4o :) ),

So please try to debug more, especially in your case @ggruening, for instance, SSH into the server and try running the failed script /tmp/terraform_1260129824.sh manually. Also inspect its content.

There is no /tmp/terraform_1260129824.sh on the servers. Maybe things were cleaned up when terraform ended?

So please try to debug more

I will. I don't have much time right now, but I'll get back as soon as possible - probably in a few hours. Thanks for thinking along.

maaft commented 1 month ago

@mysticaltech thank you for looking into this.

How can I view the logs when I cannot SSH into the node?

I tried with hetnzer rescue mode and mounting the MicroOs Partition (/dev/sda3), but somehow /var folder is completely empty (and therefore I cannot see any logs).

cztk commented 1 month ago

As this is also linked in forum.hetzner ; I tried with terraform 1.8.5 ( which is out of date as the time of writing 1.9.3 is shiny ) and the provided config by @ggruening, which I reformated before testing, and it worked.

also packer v1.11.0 ; kubectl 1.30.3

Another difference was: @ggruening afaik used ssh-agent whereas I provided a non null private ssh key

@maaft @ggruening What terraform / tofu version did you use? Does it help to put your current config to the provided chatgpt and tell it to summarize / or clean up the comments help ( lazy way of reformatting bad charachters ).

ggruening commented 1 month ago

@mysticaltech @maaft @cztk,

I'm one step further, I don't know how big it is yet.

I logged into the server, exported the config (cloud-init query --all > cloud-init.query.all) and then jumped to the faulty location 6908. There was a description (!) of an ssh key stored at Hetzner, which I referenced in the kube.tf using its id. In my case it was Key f\u22r k8s stack - with a failed encoded german umlaut "ü". That must have thrown it out. @maas, check your descriptions (!) of the ssh keys if necessary.

Unfortunately, terraform keeps crashing, though. This time with:

╷
│ Error: remote-exec provisioner error
│ 
│   with module.kube-hetzner.null_resource.first_control_plane,
│   on .terraform/modules/kube-hetzner/init.tf line 70, in resource "null_resource" "first_control_plane":
│   70:   provisioner "remote-exec" {
│ 
│ error executing "/tmp/terraform_1986346640.sh": Process exited with status 127

Something completely different. Any ideas? I'm still looking!

Best regards Gregor

cztk commented 1 month ago

I upgraded my hcloud cli to the latest version and did a new testrun with the config @ggruening provided. ffd I used an old rsa key tested, worked.

I was not able to reproduce your issue :(

maaft commented 1 month ago

I'm using OpenTofu v1.8.1 Same issue with Terraform v1.9.2

But I used these versions 3 weeks ago, exact same kube.tf config and everything worked. Something must have changed in the meantime.

Just retried with rsa key (instead of ed25519) for SSH and updated hcloud cli. Same issue: I cannot SSH into the nodes, although they are online.

What I still find very weird: When I enable resuce mode and mount the MicroOS partition /var is completely empty. Should this be the case?! I have currently no ability to check any logs, which makes debugging obviously very hard. Would be nice if anyone has an idea here so I can be more productive wrt solving the issue :)

maaft commented 1 month ago

hmmm, now at least SSHD is no more crashing for me so I can login to the servers. What I changed:

use rsa key
use port 22 for ssh (previously had a custom port)
updated hcloud cli

will try to narrow it down

Also, the rest of the cluster now bootstrapped normally but with one exception:

Somehow one of the agent nodes went straight into emergency mode. I have observed this also multiple times before already when bootstrapping a cluster! Reboot of that node helps.

Now I get a different (but similar) error that also @ggruening has reported:

 ╷
│ Error: remote-exec provisioner error
│ 
│   with module.kube-hetzner.null_resource.first_control_plane,
│   on .terraform/modules/kube-hetzner/init.tf line 70, in resource "null_resource" "first_control_plane":
│   70:   provisioner "remote-exec" {
│ 
│ error executing "/tmp/terraform_459919302.sh": Process exited with status 1

Since I can now SSH into the nodes, I'm going to dig deeper and hopefully find something.

Heureka! In the end it works now!

I discovered two (?) more errors:

In my private ssh key I also had a comment with a German umlaut. I corrected that (but didn't test it again straight away, so I'm not sure if that was really was a problem, too.)
I destroyed the entire stack several times and rebuilt it completely (terraform destroy and terraform apply -auto-approve). I had hoped that this would give me a clean, clear test situation. But now it happens that Hetzner sometimes just gives you the same IPs (IPv4) again. The fingerprint of the server is of course different from the one in my local known_hosts file. This prevents automatic login for fear of a "man-in-the-middle" attack. So I've cleaned up here: ssh-keygen -f "/home/ggruening/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX", successful for all my IPs that I had before.

And lo and behold: the script now actually runs through (@cztk I continue to use the ssh-agent, by the way).

[!IMPORTANT] Summary: 1) Avoid comments in ssh-keys with non-ASCII characters (both at Hetzner and locally). 2) Always delete the already known IPs from the known_hosts when the servers are newly set up (even if I'm not quite sure how to find them safely... how am I supposed to know whether I've ever had this or that IP before? Especially since it only becomes known during the setup process... does anyone have an idea?

Phew, that was exhausting. Thank you all (@maaft @mysticaltech @cztk) very much for thinking along with me!

@maaft, please tell us here whether this thought also solves your problem. I'll leave the issue open, feel free to close it.

@ggruening unfortunately this did not help.

different ssh port then 22 still completely wrecks everything
when using ssh port 22, I still get /sbin/semodule: Failed on /usr/share/selinux/packages/k3s.pp errors on first control-plane.

will wait for @mysticaltech to come back, I'm out of ideas.

ggruening commented 1 month ago

1. different ssh port then 22 still completely wrecks everything

@maaft Have you thought about creating a firewall rule for your particular ssh port?

Something like that in your kube.tf might help:

extra_firewall_rules = [
    {
      description = "For special ssh port"
      direction       = "in"
      protocol        = "tcp"
      port            = "<whatever>"
      source_ips      = ["0.0.0.0/0", "::/0"]
      destination_ips = [] # Won't be used for this rule
    }
  ]

maaft commented 1 month ago

the port that you specify in kube.tf will be automatically configured as open inside the hetzner firewall (yes, I checked that)

When specifying different port than 22, SSHD will fail to start - therefore no SSH access possible. But this was not the case 3 weeks ago and I have 4 clusters in total with non-22 port that are successfully running.

So I stay with my asssumption, that something must have changed in this time that is not in our control.

ggruening commented 1 month ago

@maaft

Maybe it is exactly that: the firewall rule is no longer created automatically. I just ran my stack with my original kube.tf and it also works with a different ssh port, but I opened it manually as described above...

maaft commented 1 month ago

no, I meant that I checked if the configured port xxxx was present in Hetzners Firewall (via console.hetzner.cloud) - and it was. So pretty sure, I don't have any FW issues.

Anyway, different error with port 22, so I'll focus on that one first.

maaft commented 1 month ago

Okay, finally got it.

Maybe it was the same ssh known_hosts issue that you experienced.

What I finally did was:

removed all IPs from known_hosts
deleted packer snapshots in hetzner project (previously I always kept them but the must have been faulty, maybe due to known_hosts issue)
rebuild packer
bootstrap cluster

@maaft Fine. I have highlighted my "solution" in color above. HTH.

Great work people! Thanks for the hand @cztk.
