Beginner question about launch Archlinux image

[chepalitos]

Hi!

Im trying to create an arch container in a recently installed lxd with:
lxc launch images:archlinux/current/amd64 arch-container

But I am getting this error:
Error: Failed instance creation: Failed getting remote image info: Failed getting image: The requested image couldn't be found

Meanwhile I am creating ubuntu container with no problem with:
lxc launch images:ubuntu/22.04 ubuntu-container

Thanks for the patience
Federico

You can list all available arch container using:

lxc image list images:archlinux

This should work:

lxc launch images:archlinux/cloud arch-container

Important notice for LXD users (image server)

Introduction The image server at https://images.linuxcontainers.org has been in operation since early 2014, first offering images to LXC users through the download template and then once LXD came around, it was expanded to also provide LXD container and eventually virtual-machine images. The infrastructure used to build and distribute those images has always been purposefully kept community owned and operated. That’s so that every distribution represented on the image server is on equal footing…

Hi Steph!

I saw that. But its the second part of that link that I may not getting well when it talks about the timelines…

Ussing the suggestion of qkiel:
$ lxc image list images:archlinux

I am getting:
+-------+-------------+--------+-------------+--------------+------+------+-------------+ | ALIAS | FINGERPRINT | PUBLIC | DESCRIPTION | ARCHITECTURE | TYPE | SIZE | UPLOAD DATE | +-------+-------------+--------+-------------+--------------+------+------+-------------+
No arch images available…

I may forgot to say that I recently install lxd on an arch Linux.

You must be running LXD 5.20 on Arch, which puts you in the first group.
The first group currently only gets Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine and CentOS images, all other images are blocked.

Then starting on Monday, you’re going to be getting a completely empty image list.

Arch is in the first group because there is an official Incus package available in the repositories as well as official instructions on installing that package.

I’m using Arch Linux and switched to Incus removing LXD completely. However incus image list gives me empty list still. incus remote ls shows https://images.linuxcontainers.org with simplestreams protocol. What can be wrong?

Try,

incus image list images:

Nevermind, for some reason default remote switched to local, so incus remote switch images fixed the problem.

[RealGecko (Alexandr Bezenkov)]

OK, now I get Error: The remote isn't a private server with incus launch images:archlinux/current/amd64 arch

[RealGecko (Alexandr Bezenkov)]

Nevermind, turns out remote need to be set to local
