Ubuntu standard images for RPi are missing

[zewelor]

Hi

I'm interested in testing kairos in my k8s setup using rpi. I saw ubuntu version of kairos is now merged here: #1170 . How can I get rpi image for ubuntu with k3s ? I don't see it in release assets. I need to build it manually or other way ?

Hi @zewelor, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately there's a problem with the build so those first Ubuntu arm images with k3s are not available yet. I'll look into this and get back to you

Hi

thanks you for clarification. Also thanks for working on such a great project. I'm looking forward to your updates.

Ok, I have some good and some bad news. The bad news is that for the Ubuntu 22.10 image it will remain broken until next release. This is because the tagged version had an issue and it was only fixed in a commit afterwards. Hopefully that also means that instead of Ubuntu 22.10 we can offer already 23.04 since we're working on bumping it. I will keep your ticket open until the image is available.

The good news is that you can use both of the LTS. I've updated the documentation with the links but putting them here too:

• https://quay.io/repository/kairos/kairos-ubuntu-20-lts-arm-rpi
• https://quay.io/repository/kairos/kairos-ubuntu-22-lts-arm-rpi

Thanks for reply. Hmm so now I'm a bit confused. I've tried to follow this tutorial: https://kairos.io/docs/reference/image_matrix/ to test kairos with k3s version 1.24 on rpi. From what I understand I need to wait for this repository to be populated ? https://quay.io/repository/kairos/kairos-ubuntu-22-lts-arm-rpi-img

Sorry @zewelor :( indeed this should have been populated, will look into it today. However, this only gives you the "test" image, which has the default kairos user and password. Once you want to configure your own image, you will have to customize it. So I'd recommend to start there, pass a cloud-config you want to try out, and you can burn the resulting out.img into your sd card. If you have any questions don't hesitate, you can also find me in the slack/matrix community channels

Added a PR for the missing content in the -img repositories, but these will only be available on next release. So still best option right now is to follow the Customization Section

[mauromorales]

Opened a PR to bump the ubuntu rolling version #1433

And added the blocked label, since the only missing part is going to be the release at this point

[zewelor]

I see, thank you for such detailed information.

core 2.2.0 images released and available ... just waiting on provider release now

Looks like with version 2.2.1 they are already provided. Closing now
