KD demon install / start fails when installing via WSL (ubuntu) - Enable Koding on Windows (viaWSL)

@ntziolis Hey, thanks for reporting this. From the stacktrace it looks like it's rather problem with BoltDB:

panic: invalid page type: 0: 4
goroutine 1 [running]:
vendor/github.com/boltdb/bolt.(*Cursor).search(0xc420049820, 0x18c9540, 0x7, 0x7, 0x4)

Afair it uses mmap to read the database file from a memory, I guess we could try forcing it to read it from disk for WSL, but I'm afraid we'd have no way of testing this at the moment.

@rjeczalik Happy to play ginny pig as often and fast as you need to, but If access to a machine with configurtion enabled is the issue I can setup an RDP connection to one of our idling machines that. Koding is exactly what we need to be using as a team but this keeps blocking us.

Notes:

• I wanne stress that the above error was NOT the only one. more commonly I got timeouts and I think at least once another error the first time that I didn't log as i assumed it was still on my end at that point.
• This really could be a fairly simple to way to ensure preliminary windows support. This surely is a huge item for koding strategically as especially the enterprises that could most benefit from the dynamic nature of koding are all on windows.

Question:
Is there a debug mode of the kd installer that I could run as right now there is zero output until the error and it would be great to know which stages of this step run through without issues.

@ntziolis All the logs are under /var/logs/kd.log and /var/log/klient.log. There's a kd config command to help you with configuration, kd config set debug <value> should do what you want.
