Systemd restart and cobbler import
Every time I do cobbler sync, it always hangs. Tracing the issue, I found out that during cobbler sync, cobbler will try to restart dhcpd. However, no systemd services can be restarted. When I add this line (taken from dockerhub), it works:
ENV container docker
Do the current code work for you when you do cobbler sync? And another issue, when I do cobbler import, it always shows error about kickstart file not found. How do you make cobbler import the distro?
Yes the restart is broken currently, you need to restart dhcpd manually when you want to sync. I don't recall getting errors while using import. The blog post (see link in the README) explains a bit about what I did. What error do you get? And what steps did you take?
No, I can't even restart dhcpd manually. I got that cobbler sync work by adding the mentioned line. The error is: kickstart file not found. At first I built the container and got into it, then cobbler check, restart cobblerd, cobbler sync, all worked fine until cobbler import. And I forgot to mention that even with make import, I still faced error.
If dhcpd doesn't start then there's something wrong in the config. It's a bit of a PITA to debug, but journalctl -xe should be helpful. For me the issue was using an ip range not served by the network interface I specified, but you might have a different problem. There should be a cobbler.log somewhere as well, maybe that gives a hint about the kickstart file?
