After running of Azure IotEdge runtime for a while, preview bits just stopped working. I have no idea how and why this happen (it is a preview ?), but iotedge runtime entered very strange unexpected state.
I have found the stopped docker container with
docker container ls –all
and have taken a look on logs of following container:
microsoft/azureiotedge-hub:1.0-preview
with following command:
docker logs CONTAINERID
Then I have found many errors, which all lead to this one:
iotedge (The system cannot find the path specified) ---> Internal.Cryptography.CryptoThrowHelper+WindowsCryptographicException: The system cannot find the file specified
After executing of
iotedgectl uninstall
and setup again, removing of device, restarting of runtime and docker, nothing changed. The runtime simply didn’t want to start.
Finally I have decided to uninstall the python CLI:
pip uninstall azure-iot-edge-runtime-ctl
and then I have installed it again:
pip install -U azure-iot-edge-runtime-ctl
Believe or not, This has helped
