Description
we've received requests for running windows containers as Coder workspaces. in my attempts to POC this use-case, i've run into issues with howcontainerd executes powershell commands/scripts as part of the entrypointcommand in thekubernetes_pod spec in Terraform. related issue:containerd/containerd#5067
versions
- host: GCP Windows LTSC with containerd (Windows Server 2019 Datacenter)
- runtime:
containerd://1.6.13-gke.1 - k8s provider:
2.12.1
error
Error: failed to start containerd task "coder-container":hcs::System::CreateProcess coder-container: The system cannot find the file specified.: unknown
tests
1. execute powershell against the init_script terraform object
resource"kubernetes_pod""main" {container {image="docker.io/stefanscherer/node-windows:latest"command=["powershell.exe","-NoExit","-Command",coder_agent.main.init_script] }}
2. mount the init_script as a volume, execute the file via powershell
resource"kubernetes_pod""main" {spec {container {image="docker.io/stefanscherer/node-windows:latest"command=["powershell.exe","-NoExit","-Command","C:\\coder_init\\init.ps1"] }volume_mount {mount_path="C:\\coder_init"name="coder-init-script" }volume {name="coder-init-script"secret {secret_name="coder-init-script" } }}resource"kubernetes_secret""init_script" {metadata {name="coder-init-script"namespace="oss" }type="Opaque"data={"init.ps1"=base64encode(coder_agent.coder.init_script) }}
3. set theSHELL &ENTRYPOINT in the Dockerfile
FROM stefanscherer/node-windows:latestSHELL ["powershell","-Command","$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"]ENTRYPOINT ["powershell.exe"]
resource"kubernetes_pod""main" {container {image="ericpaulsen/windows-test:latest"command=["C:\\coder_init\\init.ps1"] }}
any feedback, troubleshooting ideas are appreciated.
