bin/make-base-vm failing on Fedora #18648

Hi everyone

I'm trying to follow this guide about setting Fedora up for gitian building:

https://github.com/bitcoin-core/docs/blob/master/gitian-building/gitian-building-setup-gitian-fedora.md

but I keep running into problems with the proxy, and get errors like Unable to connect to 172.17.0.1:3142: when running the bin/make-base-vm command.

I have reported the issue with gitian here:

devrandom/gitian-builder#227

but was thinking perhaps someone here could help with a solution?

I have tried different versions of Fedora and both installing docker through dnf install and the latest packages from docker.com, but with no luck.

Any ideas or hints appreciated.

Cheers

Fedora releases a new version every 6 months, so we can't really keep up with updating that guide. Someone should bump it to centos 8 and probably podman, if it is easy.

I had this issue while using gitian-build , probably due to some networking issue you cannot connect with it.

The same inside the docker perhaps, try this with lxc it will work

# the version of lxc-start in Debian needs to run as root, so make sure
# that the build script can execute it without providing a password
echo "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/lxc-start" > /etc/sudoers.d/gitian-lxc
echo "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/lxc-execute" >> /etc/sudoers.d/gitian-lxc
# make /etc/rc.local script that sets up bridge between guest and host
echo '#!/bin/sh -e' > /etc/rc.local
echo 'brctl addbr br0' >> /etc/rc.local
echo 'ip addr add 10.0.3.1/24 broadcast 10.0.3.255 dev br0' >> /etc/rc.local
echo 'ip link set br0 up' >> /etc/rc.local
echo 'firewall-cmd --zone=trusted --add-interface=br0' >> /etc/rc.local
echo 'exit 0' >> /etc/rc.local
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
# make sure that USE_LXC is always set when logging in as gitianuser,
# and configure LXC IP addresses

same here on fedora 29

We no-longer use gitian, so closing this. Looks like there is some discussion in the upstream issue: https://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder/issues/227.
