Unable to import the rockylinx 9 to AWS cloud

sagarseapatil · March 9, 2023, 6:17am

Steps followed

I downloaded the qcow2 format form this link
Index of /pub/rocky/9/images/x86_64/ Rocky-9-EC2-Base-9.1-20230215.0.x86_64.qcow2

I converted this qcow to raw format(which is supported on aws)
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw Rocky-9-EC2-Base-9.1-20230215.0.x86_64.qcow2 Rocky-9-EC2-Base-9.1.raw

But when I tired to import image on AWS , I get this error.

StatusMessage": “ClientError: Unknown OS / Missing OS files.”,

Is these steps followed are correct ?Please help me on this

Wouldn’t it be better to use the ones already prepared? From here: Cloud Images | Rocky Linux

Or is there a particular reason you are trying to do this, than use the already prepared official images?

We want to create our own custom image , we will not use marketplace/community AMI’s

This is something I have done last period. Some hints are:

use a Fedora Workstation 37 VM;
install there imagefactory;
checkout the branch devel from the GitHub - rocky-linux/sig-core-toolkit: Various scripts and tools for SIG/Core repository;
build the empanadas container and run that from your host instead of executing build-image directly View paste V4SDRSBYQ7RKPG7SC3KU2N5TPY

I also recommend you join the mattermost Development channel, there I discussed with @neil more on this topic.

I put together the scripts on a repository: GitHub - valentin-nasta/create-custom-rocky-linux-ami
Please let me know if you encounter any issue.

(I had to create a new post because I was limited to 2 links per post.)

Hi Valentin , I tried the steps mentioned by you
STEP 17/20: ENV LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND direct
→ 5594ca12b7f
STEP 18/20: COPY prep-azure.sh /prep-azure.sh
→ 29374bf25eb
STEP 19/20: RUN chmod +x /prep-azure.sh
→ a4a7b9dc6e5
STEP 20/20: ENTRYPOINT [“/tini”, “–”]
COMMIT empanadas:latest
→ 4cd83341361
Successfully tagged localhost/empanadas:latest
4cd833413614e7f31d4848d0042450f44c8cd4c70b864b9ef28dcc6fea23190e

But I am unable to login to container localhost/empanadas:latest

docker container ls
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

docker image pull localhost/empanadas:latest
Error response from daemon: Get “http://localhost/v2/”: dial tcp [::1]:80: connect: connection refused

Hi Sagar, on this example should be used podman and not docker.

sudo podman images
REPOSITORY                TAG         IMAGE ID      CREATED      SIZE
localhost/empanadas       latest      011e3cc8b82f  2 days ago   3.09 GB

Here is an example of podman run if you want to access run the container:

[vdev@vmvalentin-fedbox ~]$ sudo podman images  | grep empanadas
localhost/empanadas       latest      011e3cc8b82f  3 days ago    3.09 GB
[vdev@vmvalentin-fedbox ~]$ sudo podman run -it --rm 011e3cc8b82f bash
[root@704b3b9ecf2e /]#

a complete example you’ll find on my repository: create-custom-rocky-linux-ami/run_empanadas.sh at main · valentin-nasta/create-custom-rocky-linux-ami · GitHub

I executed this command in the container and got this error

where I can find this file /transfer/kickstarts/Rocky-9-EC2-Base.ks I don’t see this file in any repo

The run_empanadas.sh script does clone the required repositories (including the kickstarts):
