Terraform remote-exec: "error: too early for operation, device not yet seeded or device model not acknowledged"

I'm trying to run some inline remote-exec commands on a DigitalOcean droplet I provision with Terraform.

  provisioner "remote-exec" {
    inline=[
      "whoami",
      "sudo snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.18/stable"
    ]
  }

The first command returns "root" correctly but after that I get:

digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec): Connecting to remote host via SSH...
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec):   Host: 111.11.11.111
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec):   User: root
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec):   Password: false
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec):   Private key: true
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec):   Certificate: false
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec):   SSH Agent: true
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec):   Checking Host Key: false
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec): Connected!
digitalocean_droplet.example: Still creating... [40s elapsed]
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec): root
digitalocean_droplet.example (remote-exec): error: too early for operation, device not yet seeded or device model not acknowledged

Any advice? I'm new to Terraform, maybe missed something fundamental in docs.

For me, the error only occurs when I try to install a snap application immediately after installing the snap itself. After running the command below the "snap install" worked fine.

sudo snap wait system seed.loaded

you should disable SELinux on that server:

sudo setenforce 0
