Hello!

I am not experienced in CI/CD automatization, but I am trying to make auto build the iso in docker, which runs in CircleCI machine. I use machine executor in CircleCI to start docker in privileged mode, but buildiso still gives an error:

I use the next command to start the docker container:

docker run \
          --name manjarolinux-build \
          --mount type=bind,src="$(pwd)",dst="/home/isobuilder/project" \
          --workdir "/home/isobuilder/project" \
          --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
          --entrypoint "./install.sh" \
          demysteriismundi/manjarolinux-build:stable -b

I hope you will tell me the way to solve this problem. Maybe CircleCI not suitable for such purposes so what can I use for that?

Okay. I tried to use TravisCI. And it almost helped.

The problem #212 is repeated. I've not found the problem solution there and I've tried some ways to solve this by himself.

I found the similar issue and changed the docker run options:

docker run \
  --name manjarolinux-build \
  --mount type=bind,src="$(pwd)",dst="/home/isobuilder/project" \
  --workdir "/home/isobuilder/project" \
  --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
  --entrypoint "./install.sh" \
  --security-opt=apparmor:unconfined \
  demysteriismundi/manjarolinux-build:stable -b

And result of this command:

Also I observe errors during the build:

Anybody knows the solution?

Are you using the Manjaro Docker repo?

Are you using the [Manjaro Docker repo](https://github.com/manjaro/manjaro-docker)?

@mikeroyal I created docker image based on manjarolinux/base: Dockerfile.

Any updates to this? I am trying to do something very similiar but am running into the same error.

I noticed the container does log some dmesg output as well, not sure if this is of use for debugging:

[18522.284483] overlayfs: filesystem on '/var/lib/manjaro-tools/buildiso/gnome/x86_64/desktopfs' not supported as upperdir

Okay, I fixed the problem.

The issue stems from the fact that Docker itself uses an overlayFS as its storage engine. It seems like you cannot mount an overlay filesystem from within an overlay filesystem which was causing the error. When I switched to VFS as the docker storage engine the error went away. Keep in mind that VFS is alot larger than overlay.

The docker documentation on VFS and how to switch to it.

To any devs that might know how to fix this, it would be rather helpful. As (AFIK) almost all CI/CD pipelines will use overlay as a filesystem. If I come across any fixes to get this working in GitHub actions I will report back.

I had a question, where are the ISO changes made? This command is to generate the ISO automatically, I don't know where the changes will be.

Can you give me all the configuration you created? I'm trying to automate the iso creation of a distribution based on manjaro to be created inside the docker.
