Installation of IncusOS on barebone Framework Desktop, startup fails

IncusOS
1

When I install IncusOS using below configuration. The installation is running properly, but the OS startup ends in a loop:
ERROR: Failed to create certificate “admin”: illegal base64 data at input byte 0.
How can I work around this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks on advance

Peter

I’m using IncusOS image downloader
to create an image to install it on a bare bone Framework desktop.
I use

  • image type USB
  • architecture x86_64
  • install on boot disk
  • application Incus
  • wipe target drive
    (blank did not work for me: so i filled in the only ssd I’ve)
  • no application configuration as I do not have a client yet
  • network configuration empty

Sounds like you put some bad data in the TLS certificate section of the image downloader.

A valid value looks like:

Yes, thanks for the fast reply : started to get it working last night :-).

There was indeed an issue with the burning the right version to my usb stick.
I able to start IncusOS on my FrameworkDesktop last night.
Today I was able to get it working from firefox on ubuntu.
For chromium it did work: it can load the crt (not the pfx) at “local certificates” but that does not work.
There also is a ”Your certificates” and that accepts the pfx/with password and did work at the end.

Thanks for your support and great product :slight_smile:
