Amazon Linux 2

What is your question?

Hello,

I'm trying to understand why amazonlinux:2 is failing when I use colima.

For instance this one fails:

$ docker run -i --rm -u 0:0 -v $(pwd)/src:/asset-input:delegated -v $(pwd)/result:/asset-output:delegated -w /asset-input amazonlinux:2 \
    bash -c 'yum install -y -q util-linux; findmnt /asset-input; cp -au . /asset-output'
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Operation not permitted
TARGET       SOURCE                              FSTYPE   OPTIONS
/asset-input mount0[/temp/test/src] virtiofs rw,relatime
/usr/bin/cp: preserving permissions for '/asset-output/.': No data available
$ echo $?
1

While this one works as expected:

$ docker run -i --rm -u 0:0 -v $(pwd)/src:/asset-input:delegated -v $(pwd)/result:/asset-output:delegated -w /asset-input amazonlinux:2023 \
    bash -c 'yum install -y -q util-linux; findmnt /asset-input; cp -au . /asset-output'

Hi,

Are you still blocked on this ?

[avoidik]

hello @sktomer no, I'm not blocked by this, however it's still a thing since CDK uses amazonlinux:2 in its lambda bundling construct... I'm curious what could be the reason of this inconsistent behavior
