VM Setup Issue

[12devsilva12]

Getting the following error when I try to setup the VM. I have cloned the repo to my local machine and am running the command as per the guide:

{"status":"Failed","error":{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.","details":[{"code":"Conflict","message":"{\r\n \"status\": \"Failed\",\r\n \"error\": {\r\n \"code\": \"ResourceDeploymentFailure\",\r\n \"message\": \"The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.\",\r\n \"details\": [\r\n {\r\n \"code\": \"VMExtensionProvisioningError\",\r\n \"message\": \"VM has reported a failure when processing extension 'farmvibes-ai_setup_script'. Error message: \\\"Enable failed: failed to get configuration: invalid configuration: 'commandToExecute' is not specified\\\"\\r\\n\\r\\nMore information on troubleshooting is available at https://aka.ms/VMExtensionCSELinuxTroubleshoot \"\r\n }\r\n ]\r\n }\r\n}"}]}}

Hi @12devsilva12,

First of all, thanks for your input on this. Could you please post the command you used and confirm you are running it from project's root folder? I suspect you are running the script in such a way the initialization script cannot be found.

Keep in mind this command cat resources/vm/setup_farmvibes_ai_vm.sh must prompt the initialization script to successfully create and initialize the VM. You will probably need to select another deployment_name or delete the previous one before creating a new VM.

Please, let me know if you had success on this....

Best Regards.

Thanks for the help! Below is the command I used and yes I am running it from the root of the project's root folder. Still getting the same error as above @brsilvarec. Any ideas?

az deployment group create --resource-group terradot \
   --name dev2\
   --template-file  resources/vm/farmvibes_ai_vm.bicep \
   --parameters \
            ssh_public_key="$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" \
            vm_suffix_name=terra \
            encoded_script="$(cat resources/vm/setup_farmvibes_ai_vm.sh | gzip -9 | base64 -w0)"  

If helpful also getting following warning, not sure if related:

base64: invalid argument -w0

It seems your base64 script is getting problems to translate the setup_farmvibes_ai_vm.sh into base64 format. az cli expects a encoded_script parameter just like the following output.

Are you getting an output similar to this one?

What is your version of base64? Perharps your are using a outdated version...

Please, also try to update your az cli (instructions here)

Thanks for the advice! I am running this from a Mac, so the base64 has a different set of flags. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46463027/base64-doesnt-have-w-option-in-mac this helped clarify and fixed my error by switching the command to just base64. Thanks!
