qemu-system-x86_64: -boot 'order=d': Invalid parameter ''order'

[MasterZhang007]

I tried to start the container but all failed.

Here's my docker-compose.yml:

services:
  qemu-container: 
    image: tianon/qemu
    container_name: qemu-container
    restart: unless-stopped
    devices:
      - /dev/kvm
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/qemu-container/hda.qcow2:/tmp/hda.qcow2
      - /volume1/OS/ubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso:/tmp/ubuntu.iso:ro
    environment:
      - QEMU_HDA=/tmp/hda.qcow2
      - QEMU_HDA_SIZE=100G
      - QEMU_CPU=4
      - QEMU_RAM=8192
      - QEMU_CDROM=/tmp/ubuntu.iso
      - QEMU_BOOT='order=d'
      - QEMU_PORTS='2375 2376'

docker logs:

Ah, this is a YAML vs Shell quoting issue. You'll want to change:

      - QEMU_BOOT='order=d'
      - QEMU_PORTS='2375 2376'

to:

      - QEMU_BOOT=order=d
      - QEMU_PORTS=2375 2376

or:

      - 'QEMU_BOOT=order=d'
      - 'QEMU_PORTS=2375 2376'

or swap the entire environment: block to a map so they could become:

      QEMU_BOOT: 'order=d'
      QEMU_PORTS: '2375 2376'

@tianon Thank you so much. It worked.
