Cli deploy command run failed with nothing happened

[vancentvan]

I try to deploy linux on android with cli only and pushed this cloned project to /data/data/, then run command sh /data/datwana/linuxdeploy-cli/cli.sh -d deploy in cli nothing happened with no errors but just few directories were created - tmp, mnt, include and config (Include directory is in the cloned project and config was copied from the one successfully deployed with released linuxdeploy apk).

Maybe I missed lots of environment configurations? Thanks in advacne for any piece of advice.

I guess i meet the same situation, and i find out:

1. the .conf

the config/linux.conf (or other profile) is created by the linuxdeploy.apk from app ui.

without that, sh ./cli.sh help show nothing about

PARAMETERS: 
   --distrib="alpine"
     The code name of Linux distribution, which will be installed.

   --target-type="file"
     The container deployment type, can specify "file", "directory", "partition", "ram" or "custom".

and sh ./cli.sh deploy do nothing.

2. the normal outpus

the normal outputs be like:

# ls config/
alpine.conf

# sh ./cli.sh help | grep PARAMETERS: -C4
      -u - unmount the container after stop
   status [NAME ...] - display the status of the container and components
   help [NAME ...] - show this help or help of components

PARAMETERS:
   --distrib="alpine"
     The code name of Linux distribution, which will be installed.

   --target-type="file"

# sh ./cli.sh config
alpine          alpine     armhf      latest-stable bootstrap
