I’m fairly new to building yocto, but I have built a couple and I’m learning how the environment is put together.

I’ve built a docker container for builds, but I keep running into issues with bitbake-layers

If I try to create, add, or show layers all I see is this:

$ bitbake-layers show-layers
NOTE: Starting bitbake server...

… and that’s it.
Through other searches people say “look at bitbake-cookerdaemon.log to see why it’s hanging”

Okay…

-rw-rw-r-- 1 username group 0 Sep 11 12:14 bitbake-cookerdaemon.log

Looks pretty useful. After I kill the process I get an exception and the log is flushed.
