@tom Thanks - that worked.

Hi, any updates on this? Unfortunately the lack of Docker/ROS functionality blocks the rest of our project unless there's a viable alternative.

Hi,

I have a VOXL Flight Deck on my hands but am unfortunately not able to get Docker containers running on it.
First of all, docker-autorun.service does not start:

# systemctl status docker-autorun.service -l
● docker-autorun.service - docker autorun service for VOXL
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/docker-autorun.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 1970-01-01 00:12:04 UTC; 53 years 11 months ago
  Process: 2168 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/docker-prepare.sh (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Jan 01 00:11:42 apq8096 systemd[1]: Starting docker autorun service for VOXL...

Jan 01 00:12:04 apq8096 systemd[1]: Failed to start docker autorun service for VOXL.
Jan 01 00:12:04 apq8096 systemd[1]: docker-autorun.service: Unit entered failed state.
Jan 01 00:12:04 apq8096 systemd[1]: docker-autorun.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Attempting to start it manually doesn't work either:

/ # sudo systemctl start docker-autorun.service
Job for docker-autorun.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker-autorun.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I can start the docker daemon manually as follows:

sudo systemctl start docker-daemon
sudo systemctl status docker-daemon -l

● docker-daemon.service - docker service for VOXL
sudo systemctl status docker-daemon -l
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/bin/docker; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (start-post) since Sun 2023-12-31 12:46:20 UTC; 12s ago

   CGroup: /system.slice/docker-daemon.service
           ├─4385 /usr/bin/docker daemon -g /data
           └─control
             ├─4386 /bin/bash /usr/bin/docker-prepare.sh
             └─4456 sleep 1

but this fails shortly with:

Dec 31 12:47:03 apq8096 docker-prepare.sh[4386]: docker-prepare: failed to see cpuset appear after 15 seconds
Dec 31 12:47:03 apq8096 systemd[1]: docker-daemon.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1

I've followed this thread: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/86/docker-daemon-fails-to-start-on-voxl/40 and tried reconfiguring Docker via voxl-configure-docker-support, and also removing /data/network/files. When rerunning voxl-configure-docker-support it always fails when attempting to enable docker-autorun:

detected hello-world docker image already loaded
you can test by running:
voxl-docker -n -i hello-image -e ""
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
enabling docker-autorun
--------------------------------------------------
Job for docker-autorun.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status docker-autorun.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Additionally, when running the voxl-configure-docker-support script I appear to be missing the line detected APQ8096 as shown by the tutorial here: https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/

The output for voxl-version is as follows:
