Troubleshooting

Kindling Falls Back To crun

If /dev/kvm is missing or unavailable, Kindling uses crun instead of Cloud Hypervisor. That is expected, not a startup failure.

kindling serve Cannot Reach PostgreSQL

Check:
  • which DSN source is being used
  • whether the database exists
  • whether credentials are correct
  • whether the schema has been applied

Builds Fail Early

Confirm required host tools are on PATH, especially:
  • buildah
  • skopeo
  • umoci
  • crun
  • virt-make-fs and cloud-hypervisor on KVM hosts

Runtime URLs Are Not Reachable

If the URL shown by Kindling is not actually openable from the browser you care about, check the advertised host configuration and the host’s firewall or ingress shape.

Dashboard Talks To The Wrong API

If the dashboard is deployed with the wrong baked-in API origin, browser fetches will go to the wrong place even if the server itself is healthy. Rebuild dashboard assets with the correct DASHBOARD_API_URL.
