Description Robert 2025-11-25 21:51:48 UTC

Please find here the entire setup:
https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/snippets/4906744

If I do not create manually these folders, then ipa-client-install fails:


  mkdir -p /var/lib/ipa-client/sysrestore
  mkdir -p /var/lib/ipa-client/pki
  mkdir -p /var/log
  touch /var/log/ipaclient-install.log

This has been raised before:
https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/427


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
provision with foreman using a container and ipa-client-install
Actual Results:
ipa-client-install fails

Expected Results:
does not fail

I closed your bug as it is a duplicate of the one we already have.

We do not support running FreeIPA on rpm-ostree/bootc deployments at the moment.
