LXD-3.12 - lxc copy fails - no such host

1

Running LXD-3.12 on both source + target machines.

Works - lxc list remote:
Works - lxc start remote:cname
Works - lxc stop remote:cname

Fails - lxc copy local:cname remote:cname
Error: Failed container creation: Error transferring container data: lookup : no such host

In the past when has occurred, the command…

lxc config set core.https_address ":8443"

Issued on both machines has fixed the problem. This seems to no longer be the fix.

Likely I’m doing something wrong, as it’s been a while since I copied containers.

Let me know likely things to fix/try + data to return.

Thanks!

Yeah, that usually means that the target server couldn’t connect back to the source through the address which was provided to it. You can always try using --mode=push to reverse the direction of the transfer or even --mode=relay which will pretty much always work but have the CLI act as a relay between the two servers.

Hum…

Both --mode=push + --mode=relay work, so I’ll just add this to my list to try in the future.

Thanks!
