Xscontainer
-
Can you be more specific?
-
@olivierlambert I still have the same problem, even adding the ssh keys before running xscontainer.
-
Have you followed the details given by @stormi ? You should have some detailed output then
-
@olivierlambert I have this output :

Can you check the presence of the key inside your VM?
-
@olivierlambert yes

One or more added
-v
to ssh might tell why the keys are not accepted. -
@kiu I reproduced your issue.
The issue comes from a lib used by
xscontainer
as a SSH Client which use a deprecated algossh-rsa
so all modern (>=8.7) OpenSSH reject the connexion. -
@BenjiReis following: I tested on a Centos7 VM with an older openssh and the prepare VM script was successful.
-
So, we found the reason: xscontainer in XCP-ng currently uses a rather old version of python2-paramiko, which seems to insist on using
ssh-rsa
algorithms, support for which was dropped in recent openssh releases.That's why it works for some distros and not for others.
We'll see it to update the components. Meanwhile, it's possible to fix it by installing python2-pip from EPEL and then upgrading first to "cryptography < 2.6" and then to "paramiko < 3". However, doing this as root may overwrite the files from the RPMs so it's not really clean. I'd advise it only for testing.
-
@stormi OK, thanks. I will try your solution on a small lab.
-
@stormi I tried to do it but I don't think I succeeded. Could you send me a more specific doc of what you are doing?
thanks

UPDATE 2024-03-19: DON'T DO THIS. We won't support any XCP-ng hosts where system packages have been overriden with pip.
I think these are the steps that worked for me:
yum install xscontainer yum install python2-pip --enablerepo=epel pip2 install --upgrade "pip < 21" pip2 install --upgrade "cryptography == 2.5" pip2 install --upgrade "paramiko < 3"
As this is done outside a virtualenv (I've tried inside a virtualenv, but I think xscontainer runs stuff outside of it, so it didn't work), this will overwrite the contents of RPMs you installed, so, again, only for testing.
I also had to remove the former host key from the VM metadata:
xe vm-param-remove uuid=... param-name=other-config param-key=xscontainer-sshhostkey
-
@stormi Thanks, I just tried that and it still doesn't work
-
Well, I tried it myself on a freshly installed pool, and this worked. Can you elaborate on what doesn't work?
-
@stormi I still have the same problem, the key does not want to install and asks me if I want to try again.
-
What's the exact error message?

Would you like to push a pool-specific public SSH key into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the specified VM and therefore authorize hosts in the pool to interact with the containers inside the VM? Answer y/n: y Attempting to push the public xscontainer key to USER@IP. ID@IP's password: Success. Attempting to refresh the state of the VM Failure diagnosis: Unable to find ncat inside the VM. Please install ncat. Do you wish to retry? Answer y/n:
