[Bug] Deleting Install ISO stalls WinBoat #658

@oe3gwu

Description

@oe3gwu

What version of WinBoat are you running?

0.9.0

Your Environment

Kubuntu
KDE6
FreeRDP: 3.16

Stock Kubuntu 25.10 Installation - nothing fancy

Steps to Reproduce / Context

I installed a Custom Windows - with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise. Works well. But I had the install ISO in ~/Downloads. I cleaned up the folder, then pressed the Play button. The circle began to turn but nothing happens. Also no error message.

When starting the container manually, I saw this:

└─$ docker start WinBoat 
Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error mounting "/home/rainer/Downloads/26100.1742.240906-0331.ge_release_svc_refresh_CLIENT_IOT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us.iso" to rootfs at "/boot.iso": create mount destination for /boot.iso mount: cannot mkdir in /var/lib/docker/overlay2/8a034185f3c9b54447ca30f21ca8afc6e0e405c98b5545bfcf3dc339868801af/merged/boot.iso: not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type
Error: failed to start containers: WinBoat
┌──(rainer@hyperion)-[~]

Copying the ISO back made it work again. There is no Documentation indication that this ISO is needed in the aftermath. This dependency should be killed off. I mean who doesnt clean up their PC?

Logs

container.log

install.log

winboat.log

Expected Behavior

This dependency should not exist, or the iso should be copied somewhere "safe" in order to have the system run without issues.

Current Behavior

The startup stalls without error if you just use the GUI play button

Possible Solution

I am no programmer. As user this is annoying. No hate. Just as info.
