5 years ago Booting on a cloud provider is completely untested!
However, I do think it is very interesting to investigate this. I think one issue might be that the image is expecting to be booted as a ram disk and not from a hard drive, which might not be properly mounted.

5 years ago Hello, thank you for your reply!
It is indeed interesting to try to make slim working for AWS because that would allow some great possibilities for the cloud like creating small AMI that would be used for microservice.
My current use case of slim is to quickly launch a Minecraft server on AWS EC2.

5 years ago @chrisparnin According to the alpine wiki to boot on AWS we just need to install a bootloader: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Install_Alpine_on_Amazon_EC2#EBS_Backed_HVM_AMI Would this be feasible to do on slim? If so how would I do that?
And about the fact that the image is booted as a ram disk I don't think it's the cause because linuxkit has support for AWS and it uses a ram disk as well. They discussed that here: https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/issues/95

5 years ago Quick update. I managed to boot slim on AWS but it crashed due to a kernel panic. I manually installed the bootloader using this method: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Syslinux#Manual_install and I used this syslinux configuration: https://github.com/ottomatica/slim/blob/master/scripts/syslinux/isolinux.cfg
The error is that it doesn't find the root filesystem:

I literally did some hacky stuff to get that working.
I had to launch an AMI from linuxkit, then mounting the filesystem of that AMI to another EC2/VPS, after that I replaced the files vmlinuz and initrd (originally from linuxkit) with the files generated by slim: slim build images/alpine3.8-simple -p kvm.

5 years ago Amazing! This should help identify what's the delta needed on the images to make them ami-bootable.
There is a big software engineering conference deadline coming up this Friday, but we'll be able to dig into this more after that.

5 years ago No problem, I'm not here to urge you to add the AWS support for slim. I just wanted to see if I would be able to use slim on AWS in the future for my current project or if I would have to fallback to linuxkit.
About the real magic to make slim booting on AWS here is the content of the AMI:
[root@ip-172-31-3-6 slim]# ls -l
total 80940
-rw------- 1 root root 70188570 Apr 18 2017 initrd.img
-rw------- 1 root root 8029056 Apr 18 2017 kernel

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 69632 Aug 18 18:48 ldlinux.sys
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Aug 18 18:48 lost+found
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93 Aug 18 18:48 syslinux.cfgNote: initrd.img is the same type as the initrd of slim. And kernel is the same type as the vmlinuz of slim.
Here is the content of the syslinux.cfg file:
DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
KERNEL /kernel
INITRD /initrd.img
APPEND console=ttyS0I uploaded here the content of the two other file: ldlinux.c32.zip ldlinux.sys.zip
I think most of the magic that linuxkit does to render a ramdisk bootable as an AMI is here: https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/blob/master/src/cmd/linuxkit/moby/output.go
Hello,
I'm trying to boot an image from slim on AWS EC2 but I'm unable to make it work:
Here what I did to convert an image from slim to an AMI:
slim build images/alpine3.8-simple -f qcow2 -p kvmcd ~/.slim/registry/alpine3.8-simpleqemu-img convert slim.qcow2 slim.rawaws s3 cp slim.raw s3://slimisoaws ec2 import-snapshot --description "slim image" --disk-container file://container.jsonCan someone help me to make an image from slim booting properly on AWS EC2?
