Qemu-Guest-Agent not working
Hey folks,
im currently using Alpine Linux 3.13.0_alpha20200917 on Proxmox VE 6.3.
I enabled all repositories and installed the package “qemu-guest-agent”.
I also set the “Qemu Agent” option inside Proxmox and by checking the Process lists, i can confirm that Proxmox actually attaches the guest agent socket.
For some reason, the qemu-guest-agent service instantly crashes.
Executing the command “qemu-ga” manually, leads to this output:
service qemu-guest-agent start
* Starting QEMU Guest Agent ... [ ok ]
service qemu-guest-agent status
* status: crashed
/var/log# cat qemu-ga.log

Can you give me any advice how to fix this?
Yes… i already restarted the machine. Several times.
Ive talked to the Proxmox Guys and now it seems clear that this bug is more related to Alpine itself.
So, i hope you know what’s causing this behavior.
