Default images server down?

LXD
1

I seem to have hit a strange issue on all lxd hosts (unsure when it started occurring!) but I cant seem to access images.linuxcontainers.org anymore.

Error: Failed parsing stream: Unable to fetch https://images.linuxcontainers.org/streams/v1/index.json: 403 Forbidden

When I try to add us.lxd.images, i get a 404, and readding the base gets me 403 again:

# lxc remote add images https://us.lxd.images.canonical.com/

lxd version shows 5.0.0, with snap showing lxd 5.0.0-9a607f6

I was able to get an image downloaded and working via the manual process detailed here: Linux Containers - LXD - Advanced guide

The 404 you get are because you need to add --protocol=simplestreams when adding those remotes.

As for the 403, it worked in my tests (IPv4 and IPv6). Are you maybe using a proxy that could block the request and give a 403 back?

Hmm, adding simplestreams as a protocol didnt work either- Yeah, I’m guessing its something in front of my server (dang corporate firewalls!) thats blocking 8443 specifically.
