Hi all, I'm trying to get a simple instance of lakefs running on azure container instances. I've got a container running lakefs, using a command tail","-f", "/dev/null" to keep it running, with the environment variables set and port set to 8000. How can I access the interface for lakefs like in https://docs.lakefs.io/setup/create-repo.html? what other components need to be setup? I'd appreciate any help I can get on this matter

Hi @Tristan van der vlugt and welcome to Lakefs! I am not very familiar with azure container instances, so forgive me if I may ask so dumb questions. Can I assume you followed this documentation to set up your lakefs environment?

Another question, when running the

docker ps

command, does your container appear there as running (and on port 8000)?

When browsing to

<http://127.0.0.1:8000>

, I assume you are getting an error response?

Connection to <azure container group public ip>:8000 does result in a timeout/error. the container/image itself has port 8000 set.

Ok, can elaborate on which env variables you set, and the command you used to start lakefs?

I can run lakectl (cli)

Hey @Tristan van der vlugt, can you please: 1. Make sure lakectl works fine by sharing the output of

lakectl repo list

? 2. Let me know which machine you are running lakectl from? Is it one of the containers or outside of them? 3. Share the ~/.lakectl.yaml file from the machine where you are running lakectl

@Tristan van der vlugt, looks like lakectl doesn't work as well. Let's verify that port 8000 is exposed in your Azure Container Group. Can you take a look at the settings of the container group?

It should have a port setting, which is by default 80, but in our case it should be 8000.

@Tristan van der vlugt BTW you should not be using

api/v1

in the url as this only used to interact with the API

Thanks, that was the request it sent when executing .

lakectl repo list

Can you please share the screenshot with the whole screen? I'll try to point you to the settings - I don't have access to Azure at the moment

Thank you for this information. I got myself an Azure account and I will try to spin up lakefs in Container Instances. I will let you know soon

Thank you both @Yoni Augarten & @Shimi Wieder for the info and help 🙂. I'm going to play with some port see if I can get it to work.

found the issue, thanks @Yoni Augarten

Just updating here for future reference: issue was that the container was started with the wrong

command

. After removing the command there is now a DB connection issue, which @Tristan van der vlugt will continue debugging
