Hi everyone, Recently I added **FreeBSD 13** from _Storage \> MarketPlaces \> OpenNebula Public \> Apps_. When I create a VM from the FreeBSD 13 template, the guest OS fails to start `one_context`. For example, in the console log I see: ```auto Error: No contextualization found /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start one_context ``` I’ve previously added other operating systems (like **Ubuntu 24** ) using the same method, and those VMs worked fine without issues. However, with this series of OSs — **FreeBSD 13, FreeBSD 14, Fedora latest, and Alpine** — the contextualization step fails. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/opennebula/original/2X/d/def69e476ddfe4c591d18903181eb56490ee822b.png) # fail to start `one_context` **Environment:** - OpenNebula version: 6.4 **Steps to reproduce:** 1. Go to _Storage \> MarketPlaces \> OpenNebula Public \> Apps_. 2. Import the FreeBSD 13 image. 3. Instantiate a VM from the template. 4. Check the VM console. **Current results:** - VM boots, but `one_context` fails to start. I cannot log in to the guest OS to investigate further, because: - There is no default password provided for these images. - SSH initialization does not work since contextualization fails. Could someone help me understand whether this is a problem with the Marketplace images themselves, or if I’m missing a configuration step in my OpenNebula setup? ---

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your response. As you suggested, I’ve been trying to debug the issue. I have compared the templates and gathered some more information. I’ve checked the source of my marketplace, and it appears to be the same public OpenNebula marketplace you are using. I found significant differences between the FreeBSD 13 and FreeBSD 12 templates, which I have now corrected. After the adjustments, the FreeBSD 13 template is nearly identical to the working FreeBSD 12 template, as shown in the `onetemplate show` outputs below: **FreeBSD 13 (Corrected Template):** ```auto TEMPLATE 89 INFORMATION ID : 89 NAME : FreeBSD 13 ... TEMPLATE CONTENTS CONTEXT=[ NETWORK="YES", SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$USER[SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]" ] CPU="1" DISK=[ IMAGE_ID="107" ] GRAPHICS=[ LISTEN="0.0.0.0", TYPE="vnc" ] HYPERVISOR="vcenter" MEMORY="768" OS=[ ARCH="x86_64" ] ... ``` **FreeBSD 12 (Working Template):** ```auto TEMPLATE 88 INFORMATION ID : 88 NAME : FreeBSD 12 ... TEMPLATE CONTENTS CONTEXT=[ NETWORK="YES", SSH_PUBLIC_KEY="$USER[SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]" ] CPU="1" DISK=[ IMAGE_ID="106" ] GRAPHICS=[ LISTEN="0.0.0.0", TYPE="vnc" ] HYPERVISOR="vcenter" MEMORY="768" OS=[ ARCH="x86_64" ] ... ``` Despite these changes, the `one_context` issue persists, and I still cannot log in or use SSH. This is particularly confusing because the FreeBSD 12 image from the same marketplace also works perfectly, even though **I haven’t installed VMware Tools on it.** Could you please confirm if there are any known compatibility issues with the FreeBSD 13 (and another images like fedora , alpine new versions) Marketplace image when used with **vCenter 7.x**? Or perhaps there is a change in the contextualization script for FreeBSD 13 that conflicts with vCenter. ---

Can you show the output of `onevm show -j ` of the FreeBSD 13 VM ? The `no contextualization found` message stems from the one-context service not finding the information on the context ISO. Also, please share the output of `virsh dumpxml one-` executed in the KVM node where the VM is running. ---

Try installing the `open-vm-tools` package and then the contextualization should work. ---

As far as I understood, in the latest versions of operating systems downloaded from the **OpenNebula Marketplace** , the **one-context** package is no longer included by default. Therefore, if we want to use the latest releases such as **FreeBSD** , **Fedora** , or **Alpine** , we need to manually create a template, install the contextualization package inside the VM, and then register it as a new image in OpenNebula. Is that correct? ---

That is incorrect. one-context comes pre-installed on the OS appliances available on the marketplace. In your screenshot you can actually see the text `Starting one_context` , which is a message from the `one-context` service unit. `one-context` a series of checks as to where to look for context metadata. When running as a vCenter VM, the check should be `vmtoolsd --cmd 'info-get guestinfo.opennebula.context'`. In any case, 6.4 is no longer supported, try with a newer OpenNebula version. Also the vCenter driver is deprecated. ---
