Is there something we need to install for running Theory-docker?

Have in CMD with Adminright wsl --install used and
rebooted Win11pro.

For me is different:

docker_wrapper config:
workdir: /boinc_slot_dir
use GPU: no
Web graphics guest port: 80
create args: --log-driver=k8s-file --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --device /dev/fuse
verbose: 1
wsl_init(): no usable WSL distro
wsl_init() failed: -1
2025-03-20 10:46:47 (23348): called boinc_finish(1)

And i have and Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS running on WLS.
Maybe the problem is the boinc manager that doesn't "see" correctly the WSL...

Have now new boincfiles from docker, but need to finish WCG-Tasks next few hours.

You will need the very latest version from the github master branch to run these tasks.

I have also put it on the server.

Have it downloaded from -dev Server. Thank you.
Need half an hour to test it from now.

Yes, just install the Ubuntu image.

wsl.exe --install Ubuntu

Ubuntu is now installed

wsl.exe -d Ubuntu starting it.

Create a default Unix user account: xxxx

Now the Welcome Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS is shown.

Boinc is changed from 8.0.2 to 8.1.0.

https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3390077

This is now the first -dev Task with Boinc 8.1.0.

Debugging is reasonably easy.

Stop the BONC client and make a directory in the slots directory e.g. slot\99
Copy all the files in the projects\lhc_home ... directory to slots\99
Go into the VM and navigate to the slots directory (c: is mount at /mnt )

Create links so you have Dockerfile and enttrypoint.sh pointing to the versioned files.

Run the build

podman build -t test .

This will build the container using the Dockerfile

Run the container

podman run -v ./:boinc_slot_dir test

This will try to run the container from the image.

See if you get any errors.

You can then try to run the docker_wrapper from the windows command prompt.

Boinc must be from this morning from docker.com,
but get also the Boinc-Version from 0:30 UTC this night.

ln -s Dockerfile Dockerfile_20_03_2025
ln -s enttrypoint.sh enttrypoint.sh_20_03_2025

In reply to Laurence CERN's message of 20 Mar 2025:

??

ln -s Dockerfile Dockerfile_20_03_2025
ln -s enttrypoint.sh enttrypoint.sh_20_03_2025

both running ok, but podman build -t test doesn't come back.

There's a typo.
Should be 'entrypoint' instead of 'enttrypoint'

Command Podman not found, did you mean
command pod2man from deb perl (5.36.0-10ubuntu1)
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

sudo apt install podman

Package podman is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'podman' has no installation candidate

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install podman

your Linux commands are all installed now, thank you from a windowsman, NOW:

maeax@THREAD3995:/mnt/c/WINDOWS/system32$ podman build -t test
WARN[0000] "/" is not a shared mount, this could cause issues or missing mounts with rootless containers
Error: no context directory and no Containerfile specified

Laurence wrote how the command for the local test must look like:

Run the build

podman build -t test .

Important:
cd slots/99
podman build -t test . # the 'space+dot ' .' is part of the command!
