Public bug reported: I tried:
$ lxc remote add images images.linuxcontainers.org error: Get https://images.linuxcontainers.org:8443/1.0: Forbidden I am in a network environment where I must use a proxy. So this led me to think that lxd needed to be configured to use a proxy. I do have http_proxy and https_proxy set in my environment, but as lxd is also a daemon it seems reasonable to me to expect it to be configured elsewhere also, as lxd isn't necessary started with that environment. It turns out that "error: Get https://images.linuxcontainers.org:8443/1.0: Forbidden" actually refers to my proxy's response, which doesn't allow through that port. "lxc remote add images images.linuxcontainers.org:443" worked instead, at least for image listing. I have two thoughts about this. First, since port 443 is more likely to work in more environments, it might be an idea to arrange for the quick start documentation to use this. Second, could it be made clearer that the error message comes from the proxy explicitly? Initially I assumed that it wasn't hitting the proxy at all, and was instead somehow translating an ICMP firewall refusal or something. ** Affects: lxd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1545807 Title: Error message origin from image downloads aren't clear To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxd/+bug/1545807/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
