Problem with airgabbed install and kairos-agent - install bundle from local file

[TueDissingWork]

Hi

I am working on an air gabbed image that contains all the needed resources for our k8s app to run. Images manifest files etc.
For this type of application it make sense to pacakge all these artifacts into a bundle. This seems fairly simple.

What is causing problems are the process of actually installing this bundle - from a local file.
I can see that it fails doing to automated install process, so I wanted to perform the bundle install by hand. Still no luck.

So how can I install a bundle from a local file?
The tarball is available in the ISO and can be accessed. So I thought that this command would do the trick, but it fails.

Trying to run this command, but it fails with "bundle name required"

The help message from kairos-agent install-bundle --help does not seem to hold the answer.

Hope that some of you have a working example how to manually install a local bundle - or even better, how to make it install automatically :-)

Hey @TueDissingWork !

Can you provide your cloud config so we can see how are you trying the automated bundle install?
We would also need:

• kairos version and agent version (kairos version should be on etc/kairos-release, agent version can be shown with kairos-agent version)
• the install logs that show the failure (/var/log/kairos/*)

For the manual install you can se the docs at https://kairos.io/docs/advanced/bundles/#consuming-bundles

It should be something like:

kairos-agent install-bundle --local-file=true container:///run/initramfs/live/bundle.tar 

So basically what it refers as the name its actually the bundle uri.

The repository is only meant to be used with a luet type bundle as that requires a name + a repo to get the luet package from.

Its clar that bundles have been left a bit out and we need to bring them up and clean them up a bit :(

Please try with the command above to see if that works

Thanks!

Thanks. Now the CLI does not complain anymore. So far, so good.
Will do a little more testing to see is this helps - I'll report back soon.

Let's create a ticket to address this (improve the commands and maybe document them better)?

Managed to trigger the install by hand, on an already installed system.
And now the bundle also seems to be installed - perfect!

So should I install images+manifests under /usr/local/.state/var-lib-rancher.bind/k3s/ or /var/lib/rancher/k3s/?

I am running Kairos version 3.3.2 and Auroboot version 0.6.2.

if its an installed system, /var/lib/rancher is already binded to the underlying persistent partition, so just putting them into /var/lib/rancher/k3s should make them persistent
