Docker MGM setup error on Centos8

Context: I’m a professor at Reykjavik University in Iceland. We are considering EOS as a prospective mechanism to prepare for long-term research data storage that is likely to be coming regulatory in the near future in Europe. I’m in charge of a pilot project to quickly test out options and write a document proposing which one to move forward on. I’m currently the administrator for the cs.ru.is OpenAFS cell and am familiar with Kerberos, LDAP, and AFS administration.

(In a unrelated question: is there a chat form such as FreeNode, Discord, or Slack for EOS?)

I was trying to follow the instructions to setup a Docker installation of EOS as described on EOS Docker Installation — EOS CITRINE documentation
I ran into an error on the MGM server setup that I’m not sure how to move forward on.
Do you have advice on where to look? I’ve never used Docker before.

This server (archive.ru.is) is part of a FreeIPA domain with a KDC on CS.RU.IS, but is otherwise freshly installed. I installed (then uninstalled) the RPM install method after realizing that Docker seemed simpler for a quick test.

uname -a:
Linux archive.ru.is 4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 1 17:16:16 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

error: errc=0 msg=""

I have just reinstalled the VM and skipped configuring it in our FreeIPA domain in case that was the issues. It’s still getting stuck on “MGM server setup”

Hi Joseph,

So you did a git clone of the eos-docker project from here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/eos/eos-docker/
And then you ran the following command:

cd eos-docker
./scripts/start_services.sh -i gitlab-registry.cern.ch/dss/eos:4.8.39

Below is the output that I get and everything seems to work as expected:

[esindril@esdss000 eos-docker]$ ./scripts/start_services.sh -i gitlab-registry.cern.ch/dss/eos:4.8.39

Thanks! This was able to run and now I can test things.
Of note, the official directions on the quickstart documentation (EOS Docker Installation — EOS CITRINE documentation) still indicate to use 4.2.16 and the -n 16. Is there some way to get this updated so other people don’t stumble into the same version problem I did?
Also, how would I figure out what the latest docker image number is?

It looks like this is the right page. Releases — EOS CITRINE documentation
I was trying to find out where it would be indicated in Container Registry · dss / eos · GitLab in case that got out of date, but I’m not turning up anything.
