Hi All,

I migrated from lxd to incus. everything went smooth. However i can not seem to launch a new container.

any help would be appreciated.

Blockquote
root@esx:~# incus launch images:debian/12/cloud controller-new
Launching controller-new
Error: Failed instance creation: Failed getting remote image info: Failed getting image: The requested image couldn’t be found

If you run the following, it should give you the full list of available images that are currently available, along with their hash/fingerprint.

incus image list images:

If something goes wrong, you can save the output of that command, in order to be able to diagnose later.

Also, you can run the following to get information on a specific image,

$ incus image info images:debian/12/cloud

I do not know the mechanics of image creation. Perhaps you tried to launch an image at the exact moment that it was being updated?

Incus has a built-in cache for the image list, it’s quite possible that your system somehow accessed bad data which was kept in cache for a few minutes, then on re-try things worked properly.
