Proxmox VE 3.4 + OpenVZ + Observium TKL 13.0: Services don't autostart after turnkey-init

Also for future reference you can pre-seed the inithooks if you desire so then you don't need to enter the machine at all. Details can be found in the inithooks docs.

Oh and one other thing; v14.0 templates are complete and ready to use. They are designed for Proxmox v4.0 but have had some basic testing on v3.4 and appear to work fine there too. However they are not downloadable from within the web UI; you'll need to manually download them. Full details are in the announcement blog post.

...but we decided to migrate to LibreNMS. So I am just using a standard Ubuntu 14.04 container without TKL now.

How did you get to the web console on the container? As far as I can remember now, containers need something extra added before they can be accessed through the web console. The alternative, what I usually do, is deploy container, then remote console to the host, and "vzctl enter <guest_id>".

Maybe that has to do with it? Maybe I ran the init hooks that way, when other init hooks were being run at the same time on the console? I don't have the machine around to test anymore. But I'll keep this in mind for future container use.

I'll keep this in mind for next servers I need to deploy. Thanks!

And thanks for the heads-up about 14.0 templates! I am starting to plan for Proxmox v4.0, too, so one way or another, I'll use them.

I haven't worked out why, but it seems that the fence isn't being disabled as it should be once the inithooks are finished. The behaviour is the same as the OP, but I'm 99.9% sure that the cause this time is different.

I'll be back ASAP with a workaround, and I'll probably need to rebuild the images again...

All good! Thanks a million for fixing things and keeping them up-to-date!

I just ended up in that loop again, executed these 2 commands again and all well again. Any idea why the loop could have triggered again?

update-rc.d turnkey-init-fence remove
service turnkey-init-fence stop

I have the exact same problem with Proxmox 4.1 + LXC + Observium TKL 14 

I have tried connecting with ssh, turnkey-init starts, I set all my passwords and then nothing happens. I cannot access any webinterface as all of them tell me: Please initialize this system... 

So I'm caught in a loop, any hints please? Rebooted a few times to no avail.

But yes we will add that to the appliance page. We have started doing that but need to do it for all appliances.

Regardless it shouldn't be an issue straight away as the Community Edition is only released every six months, v14.1 should contain the latest version...

Really when you do anything like that, regardless of how good the instructions are, you should always test first and even then make sure you have a backup!

The beauty of containers is that they can be treated as disposable. So long as you have a current backup, you can launch a new one in minutes. I suggest that when it comes time to update, launch a new container, restore your data and test the update. Then you're testing your backup at the same time! @ birds and all that! :)

Would you mind adding a few details to the appliance's description as to how it can be updated? The observium page lists different options, just want to make sure I'm not going to break it :-)

I've fixed the issue in the appliances and the affected images are rebuilt and in the process of being uploaded.

Thanks for helping out, that seems to have fixed stuff and I can now explore the appliance.
