Proxmox LXC stuck at 'installing'

[joegoldman]

Hiya!

Trying to use LXC's on my proxmox cluster for better resource management. Using the ubuntu24.04 template, and adding the vitodeploy SSH key into the setup process. I can confirm that vitodeploy is able to talk to the server and login as it reboots it etc. I also installed curl manually and did a full apt upgrade before trying to install via vitodeploy.

My problem is that it sits forever at 'installing' and never finishes. I can't see anything happening on the host / LXC either.

The only potentially relevant thing I can find is:

https://vitodeploy.com/settings/server-providers.html#custom

The server must be accessible externally over the Internet

Whilst its not currently accessible externally over the internet, vitodeploy is installed on the same /24 and can communicate directly, and both hosts have outbound internet access behind NAT. Is there some external resource baked into this process that must be able to login to my server remotely?

This is only a guess, I suppose if anyone else has run into issues using proxmox LXC's I'd be happy to hear your thoughts, as nothing appears to timeout or give any errors.

Thanks!

@joegoldman how have you installed VitoDeploy itself? there is a chance that the queue worker is not running and that's why probably it doesn't even start installing.

Hi @saeedvaziry

I installed using the bash command from:

https://vitodeploy.com/getting-started/installation.html#installation-process

Your comment though got me looking where i needed to - the queue worker. Was initially getting SQLSTATE[HY000]General Error: 8 attempt to write a readonly database when the queue workers ran. I chmod -R 777 storage and restarted supervisor - and it has started working now.

I also installed vitodeploy in an LXC so its possible some weird permission things happened in the install process - but it is installing now. Thanks for the reply!
