error running tasks: %v

Error message

error running tasks: %v

What it means

nodeup's install-mode Run wraps a failure of context.RunTasks, meaning one or more of the built install tasks (env file, systemd unit) failed to execute on the node. The underlying task error is appended; nodeup exits nonzero so systemd knows provisioning failed.
