I want to install anbox cloud in oracle cloud arm machine and follow https://anbox-cloud.io/docs/tut/installing-appliance and get:

2023-06-21 10:37:11 LXD is ready, continuing with its initialization
ERROR: Storage pool size of 0GB is too small. Need >= 15GB

the machine is with 2core 12gb memory and df -h show:

Hi, thanks for the report.

In the logs, I can see
ERROR: Bootstrap has previously failed, not running again

Have you tried to install the anbox-cloud-appliance before? If you did, could you try again in a cleanly installed VM?

Please ensure that you do not initialize LXD, let Anbox Cloud manage the LXD cluster on your VM.

You need more space on the root volume if you do not use a separate block disk for the container storage. Minimum is 100GB on the root disk which will let the appliance automatically choose ~20GB for an on disk loop image for the storage pool (see https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/docs/latest/explanation/storage/#loop-disk). That will let you run a 2-5 containers in parallel, depending on their storage requirements.

We get the 0GB here as we expect at least 40GB free disk space. If we don't see that, we fail with this error.

There is still a bug in here as the we have a check when you run `anbox-cloud-appliance init` which should already fail if this is the case.
