Cannot install Wolf with default options on Scaleway

[5k4nd]

Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for this amazing tool!

Issue

It is not currently possible to create a pad with the Wolf option on the Scaleway provider.

Details

The installation process fails during the Ansible task Copy Wolf config.toml, right after Ensure NVIDIA driver volume exists, with a no space left on device error:

Copy Wolf config.toml...
  choco done
Copy docker-compose file...
  choco done

      ^ column 3

  choco failed | msg: General error: failed to register layer: write /Applications/xenia-canary/xenia_canary: no space left on device | stderr: {"id":"wolf_app_pegasus","text":"Pulling"}

Workaround

I was able to work around the issue by connecting to the host via SSH right after the failure and freeing a few gigabytes before the Pull images using preheat Compose file… task ran again:

docker builder prune

After doing this, the installation completed successfully.

Possible fix

After installation, I checked disk usage:

• Linux core /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ~4G
• Docker images ~10 G
• Docker volumes ~1 G

With only 2.4G of space remaining:

/dev/sda1        18G   16G  2.4G  87% /

It seems necessary to increase the Scaleway rootDiskSize from 20 GB to 25 GB or even 30 GB in /src/providers/scaleway/cli.ts.
I managed to run successfully with a 25 GB disk, but only after removing Pegasus and RetroArch after the install.

Hi there, thanks for reporting this ! By default system disk is 20GB but you can customize using --root-disk-size 30 flag to set size in GB.

But since default root disk size is not sufficient for Wolf it's definitely a bug, we'll either change default size or prevent pull of unnecessary images.

[5k4nd]

you can customize using --root-disk-size 30

Thanks for the tip! 👍

You're right -- it's only an issue with the default options. I've updated the issue title to clarify this.
Feel free to close the issue if you think it's appropriate.

Let's keep it open, this is a legitimate bug and thanks for reporting ;) I'll fix this then I have 5 min, shouldn't take long

Fix: ended-up removing this feature of pulling images. It allowed a few seconds faster startup on first time, but bloated disk unnecessarily. #328
