Unable to install azure cli in ostree environment

[frzifus]

Describe the bug

I followed the official installation guide. Installing azure cli similar to other packages:

After a reboot, I can see the package got installed:

$ rpm -qa | grep -i "microsoft"
packages-microsoft-prod-1.0-1.noarch

Related command

Afterwards I am unable to find the cli script.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Awesome, let me know if you need more infos.

Update
I tried to run the install script during my os-tree build:

FROM quay.io/fedora/fedora-silverblue:41
RUN curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli -o /tmp/install_azure_cli.sh
RUN chmod +x /tmp/install_azure_cli.sh
RUN /tmp/install_azure_cli.sh

But that also seems not to work.

Workaround
In case someone else runs into the same issue...

alias az=podman run --rm -it -v $HOME/.azure:/root/.azure:z mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli az

Another Workaround

In case some other scripts need to access az, another workaround is to create an az script and place it in one of your $PATH locations.

#!/bin/bash

podman run --rm -it -v $HOME/.azure:/root/.azure:z -v ${PWD}:/current:z -w /current mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli az "$@"

You don't provide the full Dockerfile. I'm confused, are you trying to use the RHEL guide to install azure-cli in Fedora?

We don't have an official build for Fedora, but there's a community version you can try.

[frzifus]

Hi @bebound , I think that breaks it down the minimal image:

FROM quay.io/fedora/fedora-silverblue:41
RUN rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
RUN rpm-ostree install -y https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/9.0/packages-microsoft-prod.rpm

At the end you should end up with a bootable fedora:41 that has az installed.

I can confirm that the installation of the azure-cli works on a mutable fedora:41 system.
But I also can confirm it does not work on a RHEL:9.5 or Fedora:41 immutable system. [Image mode for RHEL Enterprise Linux]

[bebound]

I don't know about mutable or immutable Fedora, but at least RHEL 9 is supported.

1. packages-microsoft-prod-1.0-1.noarch is not az package. Run dnf install azure-cli to install az.
2. https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli is deprecated.

I started using the fedora version of azure-cli. It throughts some error messages, but it works. Thanks for your help!
