runit_service enable failing in docker about runit

[coderanger]

The underlying issue is this cookbook tries to start runsvdir using upstart, which fails under Docker. It should fall back to old-style sysv if possible.

[slyness]

Merged #62 for corrections to this issue.

[coderanger]

@slyness Did you mean another ticket? #62 won't correct this, you need to change how runsvdir is launched under docker.

[slyness]

Yes. Probably meant a different one. Sorry about that.

I'm not sure if this is directly related but when trying to enable a service (genghis gem) inside a docker container I get:

I'm using version 1.5.12 of the runit cookbook

For some reason the "supervise/ok" file is missing. Any ideas about this?

[nhuff]

It is related. Taking out the check for the supervise/ok file causes the restart to happen before runsvdir actually initializes the service directory. I don't think the problem is in the check it is getting runsvdir started properly inside docker as @coderanger said.

I use a custom container that has runit pre-installed and starts runsvdir as the first process for most of my tests and I have had to pin to 1.5.10 to keep my tests from breaking.

[hd-deman]

@nhuff how do you solved this?

[MichaelSp]

I'm also affected by this.
Any one with a fix or hack?
Is this helpful to find a solution? https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4480

[jtimberman]

Have you tried the latest version of the cookbook?

[timurb]

I was running 1.5.16 for a long time and haven't seen the issue but after I've upgraded runit cookbook to the latest 1.7.2 (older one doesn't work with Chef 12.4.0) I start to see this error too.

[timurb]

A small update: I'm not running docker but a plain Ubuntu.

I've noticed a very weird thing.

I've tried uncommenting the following lines
https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/runit/blob/develop/libraries/provider_runit_service.rb#L247-L249
and after that Chef run starts to freeze.

I've looked into /etc/service dir and there is no symlink created by this resource.
(https://github.com/hw-cookbooks/runit/blob/develop/libraries/provider_runit_service.rb#L241-L244)
And that is likely a cause of freezing.

If I comment the lines back and run the same resource provision again there is symlink.

I've tried these 2 cases on fresh vagrant machines so there should not be influence between runs on each other. Both runs were Ubuntu 12.04 running on AWS

[ashmckenzie]

As a workaround for now, the following works:

runit_service "myservice" do
  # ...
  sv_bin 'sleep 5 && /usr/bin/sv'
  action  :enable
end

[MichaelSp]

@jtimberman Same issue with the latest version (1.7.2).
I think #148 is the duplicate.

Workaround doesn't seem to work neither.
What I try to do is this (aka steps to reproduce):

FROM phusion/baseimage:0.9.16

RUN apt-get -yqq update
RUN apt-get -yqq install curl lsb-release wget
RUN curl -L https://getchef.com/chef/install.sh | bash -s -- -v 12.1.0
RUN apt-get -yqq clean

RUN mkdir -p /var/chef/cache /var/chef/cookbooks
RUN wget -qO- https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/chef-server/download | tar xvzC /var/chef/cookbooks
RUN for dep in chef-ingredient yum-chef yum apt-chef apt packagecloud ; do wget -qO- https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/${dep}/download | tar xvzC /var/chef/cookbooks ; done
RUN chef-solo -o 'recipe[chef-server]'

CMD /sbin/my_init /init.sh

[cwjohnston]

I believe this issue is solved by #193. Please use a docker container as now described in the README.
