What were you trying to do that didn't work?
httpd does not work out-of-the-box on bootc image mode when there is a dedicated /var (or /var/log). /var/log/httpd being not present, the service fails at startup. The issue is likely the same on RHEL 10. Feel free to move this bug to the `rhel-bootc-container` component if needed.
What is the impact of this issue to you?
Evaluation of the product.
Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:
httpd-2.4.62-4.el9_6.4.x86_64
How reproducible is this bug?:
Always
Steps to reproduce
- Use a Containerfile that installs `httpd`
FROM registry.redhat.io/rhel9/rhel-bootc:latest RUN dnf update -y && dnf -y install httpd && dnf clean all RUN systemctl enable --now httpd RUN bootc container lint
- Deploy it with a kickstart using `ostreecontainer` on a system with a dedicated /var (and optionally /var/log)
- Start the httpd service and observe the errors.
Expected results
httpd is up and running with image mode.
Actual results
### httpd unit logs Oct 08 10:13:51 localhost.localdomain httpd[3008]: (2)No such file or directory: AH02291: Cannot access directory '/etc/httpd/logs/' for main error log Oct 08 10:13:51 localhost.localdomain httpd[3008]: AH00014: Configuration check failed Oct 08 10:13:51 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: httpd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE # ls -l /etc/httpd/logs /var/log/httpd ls: cannot access '/var/log/httpd': No such file or directory lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Oct 7 14:27 /etc/httpd/logs -> ../../var/log/httpd
Suggested workaround
Create the missing directories using systemd-tmpfiles.d if they don't already exist.
NOTE: this list might be non-exhaustive.
# mkdir -p overlay/usr/local/lib/tmpfiles.d # cat << EOF > overlay/usr/local/lib/tmpfiles.d/bootc-extra.conf d /var/www 0755 root root - - Z /var/www - - - - - d /var/www/cgi-bin 0755 root root - - Z /var/www/cgi-bin - - - - - d /var/www/html 0755 root root - - Z /var/www/html - - - - - D /var/lib/httpd 0700 apache apache - - Z /var/lib/httpd - - - - - d /var/log/httpd 0700 root root - - Z /var/log/httpd - - - - - EOF
And then append the following line to your Containerfile:
COPY overlay/ /
