VM Crashing with tini Error: “No such file or directory” - What am I missing?

Questions / Help
1

Hey all, I’m running into a persistent issue when deploying my app on Fly.io. The VM boots up, mounts the volume fine, but crashes shortly after with the following error:

ERROR Error: failed to spawn command: tini -- /usr/local/bin/my_init --no-main-command: No such file or directory (os error 2)

It also asks:

does tini exist and is it executable?

This seems to happen right after:

INFO Preparing to run: tini – /usr/local/bin/my_init --no-main-command as root

And then the machine exits abruptly and doesn’t restart.

I’m not sure if I’ve missed something super basic here. The app worked locally in Docker, but I’m new to Fly and might’ve misconfigured something.

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Yep. Showing us your Dockerfile :wink:

Appreciate the help!

Righto. I think you’re bumping into this problem:

You’re trying to use your own init process, but the Firecracker VMs are set to use their own anyway, and I wonder if there is a conflict. Set up your Docker image without one, and let Fly handle that stuff.

Sorry for the really late reply!

It turns out I was using the official AzuraCast image, which already includes its own init process. I tried modifying it to avoid using one, but unfortunately, it still didn’t work — maybe I just messed something up, because I am fairly new to this.
For now, I think I’ll try migrating to another platform to see if I have better luck there.

Thanks again for your tips and your willingness to help — I really appreciate it!

No worries. If you want pure Docker, AWS Fargate may suit you. It’s more expensive, but I think it’d be absolutely rock solid.

I missed this, but you should now be able to use your own init with containers.
