EVE-NG Satellite install

Post by truth_mojo » Fri Sep 26, 2025 5:56 pm

Hi,

I cannot get this to install properly. Using the latest version of Pro on ESXi with Xeon CPUs. I have also tried to install on Proxmox with the same result. It usually installs Ubuntu, seems to go to second stage and then reboots to 2nd stage prompt once again and never moves past this. I did get it to fully install once, but there was no eve-agent present at all. I am choosing the sat install option from the 6.4.0-8 iso.

I have had a Pro sattelite installation running on this server before with an earlier 6.x release.

Thanks.

Update:

I ran the installer on the same platform, but chose the full install instead of the satellite install. This completed with no errors. The install script for this version seems to have an error where it cannot find docker as that is almost the last log message:

/etc/eve-setup.sh: 22: docker: not found.

Prior to that is skips most of the install and produces 170 or so cloud-init lines tmp/registry/docker/etc,etc before triggering a reboot and going back to the 2nd stage prompt and stops there.
