How to troubleshoot non-booting VM

[cbluth]

i am trying to run some network scans on my corporate network, and i used to use a kali qcow2 image. i would like to try to run it in ignite. here is the log:

root@host:~# ignite run kalilinux/kali --cpus 8 --memory 16GB --ssh --name kali
INFO[0000] containerd image "kalilinux/kali:latest" not found locally, pulling... 
INFO[0003] Starting image import...

FATA[0027] Tried connecting to SSH but timed out dial tcp 10.10.10.3:22: i/o timeout 
root@host:~#

how do i see the boot log or how else can i troubleshoot this?

[cbluth]

i have also tried this dockerfile, without much improvement:

FROM kalilinux/kali:latest

SHELL [ "/bin/bash", "-c" ]

RUN apt update && \
    apt dist-upgrade -y && \
    apt install -y \
        openssh-server \
        systemd \
        systemd-sysv \
        && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && \
    systemctl enable ssh.service

here are the logs:

root@host:~# ignite run cbluth/kali:latest --cpus 8 --memory 16GB --ssh --name kali
INFO[0000] Created VM with ID "b1b4f62491cf860e" and name "kali"

i found the debug options:

how would i fix this?

[eliah-h]

did you fix the problem?

[cbluth]

@H34V33N i dont know how to fix the problem

[stealthybox]

@cbluth I think you're missing udev in your image.

I pulled cbluth/kali:latest and was able to replicate the issue. These are the important bits from the systemd log that cause the init to fail:

sudo bin/ignite logs kali

I built this Dockerfile based on ./images/ubuntu/Dockerfile and the machine booted. I was able to attach to it by logging in. The automatic SSH feature did not work with my quick edit so that's a small thing to work out:

cat images/kali-test/Dockerfile

FROM cbluth/kali

# udev is needed for booting a "real" VM, setting up the ttyS0 console properly
# kmod is needed for modprobing modules
# systemd is needed for running as PID 1 as /sbin/init
# Also, other utilities are installed

      curl \
      dbus \
      kmod \
      iproute2 \
      iputils-ping \
      net-tools \
      openssh-server \
      sudo \
      systemd \
      udev \
      vim-tiny \
      wget && \
    apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Create the following files, but unset them
RUN echo "" > /etc/machine-id && echo "" > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id

# This container image doesn't have locales installed. Disable forwarding the
# user locale env variables or we get warnings such as:
#  bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale
RUN sed -i -e 's/^AcceptEnv LANG LC_\*$/#AcceptEnv LANG LC_*/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# Set the root password to root when logging in through the VM's ttyS0 console
RUN echo "root:root" | chpasswd

I've tagged and pushed this image to dockerhub: stealthybox/ignite-kali-test:issue-567

It's based directly off of your most recent image.
