https://github.com/lxc/lxc/blob/master/templates/lxc-alpine.in produces following error when attempting to create an Arch container on Ubuntu latest stable.

Looking deeper into this template it appears a good bit of logic to bootstrap the created container requires being moved into post processing of container (after it's created).

I ran into the same issue. Are there any workarounds?

davidfavor commented 8 years ago

The template must be fixed.

Anyone have an ETA on when this might be fixed?

stgraber commented 8 years ago

We don't have a maintainer for that template so basically if you want it fixed, sent a pull request or a patch.

I'm not completely following the bug actually. If you want to use the template but don't have the necessary bootstrap tool installed then it is expected to fail, no. Also the template you linked is Alpine but you're talking about Archlinux. I suspect this was an accident.

I believe this is fixed. If this is still an issue, please re-open. Also note, that there'll be a new way to create images using distrobuilder. @monstermunchkin is working on this in https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder .
