Build target proxmox-flatcar fails

[clevelandcs]

Environment

• Make target: make build-proxmox-flatcar
• Run using container image? (Y/N): N
• Environment vars:

• Vars file:

What steps did you take and what happened?

1. Pull repository
2. make deps-proxmox
3. set env vars per docs
4. run make build-proxmox-flatcar
5. wait for VM to start, SSH never becomes available
6. Check VM console
7. Error sed cannot read /tmp/ignition.json no such file or directory

What did you expect to happen?

VM should reboot with open ssh interface for template configuration to proceed. A proxmox flatcar kubernetes template should exist at the end.

Relevant log output

Log Output

Anything else you would like to add?

Can include the rest of the local logs but realistically that won't add anything. Nothing was set aside from the env vars in the docs.

Just realized that I should probably be on a release tag... Switching to v0.1.40 I don't even see a flatcar target for Proxmox so maybe it's not ready for prime time like the other flatcar targets?

Yeah, looks like we haven't done a release yet since it was introduced here #1589

We're completely lacking testing for Proxmox so we rely completely on users like you to help us with this 😅 Sorry about that!

Looking at the error my guess is that boot command is not waiting for the curl command to complete before trying to modify the file.

Could you please try setting the following values and report back if it changes things:

{
  "boot_command_prefix": "sudo systemctl mask sshd.socket --now<enter><wait>curl -sLo /tmp/ignition.json https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/21f6a77a9a46a217949579d52f7b671568521678/images/capi/packer/files/flatcar/ignition/bootstrap-pass-auth.json && sed -i \"s|BUILDERPASSWORDHASH|$(mkpasswd -5 {{user `ssh_password`}})|\" /tmp/ignition.json && sudo flatcar-install -d /dev/sda -C {{user `channel_name`}} -V {{user `release_version`}} -i /tmp/ignition.json && sudo reboot<enter>",
  "boot_command_suffix": ""
}
