"Job for [email protected] failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded"

Question

I am starting using Rancher and Vagrant to create my local environment for development. Steps that I've done:

1. I already had VirtualBox installed.

2. I download and installed the Vagrant package for linux with

   sudo rpm -i vagrant_1.7.2_x86_64.rpm  
   

Vagrant version:

vagran --version  
Vagrant 1.7.2  

I cloned the Rancher repo from GitHub:

git clone [email protected]:rancherio/rancher.git  

Which has the Vagrant file. After executing:

sudo vagrant up  

Which is the step where I get the error, I got this:

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!  

systemctl start [email protected]  

Stdout from the command:  



Stderr from the command:

Job for [email protected] failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status [email protected]" and "journalctl -xe" for details.  

Then when I go to the localhost:8080 there is no Rancher UI installed.

Answer 1

See this GitHub issue, it's caused by an update in systemd in CoreOS 709.0.0.

Like smalltown mentions, you can switch back to an older version of CoreOS by using the beta channel. Or you can wait for this this pull request to be merged for vagrant-coreos so you can pin a specific version to use.

Answer 2

I also encounter the same problem, then I config the "config.rb", change the update channel to stable as below,

$update_channel='stable'

then destroy and up vagrant coreos again,

$ vagrant destroy
$ vagrant up

finally, the vagrant running successfully ~
