init script fails to curl coder server #15825

^{Originally posted by MaxTNielsen October 2, 2024}
From the container logs it shows that the curl command fails:

2024-10-02T14:00:31.713217679Z Trying again in 30 seconds...
curl: (35) Insufficient randomness
error: failed to download coder agent

Entropy:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3669

After an extensive search on google I've tried the following to fix the error with curl:

• Increase the entropy (hail mary since the entropy is high)
• Update openssl to the newest version

wget works.

I would like to petition if it is possible to modify the init_sript with error handling so it instead tries with wget if the exit code from the curl command is = 0:

status=""
	if command -v curl >/dev/null 2>&1; then
		curl -fsSL --compressed "${BINARY_URL}" -o "${BINARY_NAME}" && break
		status=$?
                # Check if curl was successful
                if [ "$status" -eq 0 ]; then
                    break
                fi

Or if you have any other suggestions that would be appriciated!

I'm running rootless and without privilege escalation.

Kind regards
Max
