🛠️ Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
-
Container not found:
[ERROR] Container aitbc not found. Please create it first.Solution: Create the incus containers first:
incus launch images:ubuntu/22.04 aitbc incus launch images:ubuntu/22.04 aitbc1 -
Service not found:
[WARNING] No AITBC services found on localhostSolution: Install AITBC services or check if they're named correctly.
-
Port already in use:
[WARNING] Service aitbc-coordinator-api is already runningSolution: This is normal - the script detects already running services.
-
Permission denied:
[ERROR] Failed to start service aitbc-coordinator-apiSolution: Run with sudo or check user permissions.
Debug Commands:
# Check all AITBC services
systemctl list-units | grep aitbc-
# Check container status
incus list
# View service logs
journalctl -f -u aitbc-coordinator-api
# View container logs
incus exec aitbc -- journalctl -f -u aitbc-coordinator-api
# Check port usage
netstat -tlnp | grep :800
🔄 Workflow
Development Setup:
- Create incus containers (if not exists)
- Install AITBC services in containers
- Install AITBC systemd services locally
- Run
./scripts/start-aitbc-full.sh
Daily Development:
./scripts/start-aitbc-full.sh- Start everything- Work on AITBC development
./scripts/stop-aitbc-dev.sh- Stop when done
Testing:
- Start services with scripts
- Test health endpoints
- Check logs for issues
- Stop services when finished
📚 Additional Information
- Container IPs: Scripts show container IP addresses for direct access
- Health Checks: Automatic health endpoint testing
- Service Status: Real-time status reporting
- Error Handling: Graceful error handling with informative messages
🎯 Best Practices
- Use the full script for complete environment setup
- Check the output for any warnings or errors
- Monitor logs when troubleshooting issues
- Stop services when not in use to conserve resources
- Run scripts from the project root for proper path resolution
