Support issue - user's network timed-out

[brokenthorn]

Installing kind tool with arkade is failing with a client timeout:

blackdwarf~(:|✔) % arkade get kind
Downloading kind
Error: Head https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/releases/latest: \
net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

Expected Behaviour

arkade should successfully download kind.

Current Behaviour

arkade fails to download kind, giving a client timeout error as reason.

Possible Solution

Make step optional and force download regardless of HEAD response? Add additional sources for downloading kind and failover?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Run the following command:

arkade get kind

Hi @brokenthorn this appears to be working as designed. The Go HTTP client appears to be is telling you that you have a networking issue on your side?

I've run run the command myself also on Darwin and it worked first time.

kosmos:~ alex$ arkade get kind
Downloading kind
https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/releases/download/v0.8.1/kind-darwin-amd64
Tool written to: /Users/alex/.arkade/bin/kind

Run the following to add the (kind) binary to your PATH variable

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.arkade/bin/

/Users/alex/.arkade/bin/kind

kosmos:~ alex$ 

Unless there's an issue with arkade or something else you can tell me, perhaps we should close the issue?

[alexellis]

There's also a version override, if that's of use to you? --version v0.8.1 for instance, but I'd encourage you to investigate whatever networking issue that you appear to be having first.

@alexellis, thanks. I'll investigate and report back. I had no idea this was an issue on my network's side... I can also add that I've since tried installing other tools with ark as well and all fail with the same error. Weird!

[brokenthorn]

This is weird indeed! Now it works!

blackdwarf~(:|✔) % arkade get k3sup
Downloading k3sup

Tool written to: /Users/sebastian/.arkade/bin/k3sup

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.arkade/bin/

blackdwarf~(:|✔) % arkade get kind
Downloading kind

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.arkade/bin/

The only thing I think I changed is that I deleted all K8s clusters... I installed k3d manually yesterday night and only got to install a cluster. After that I left. Today I deleted that cluster, restarted Docker for Mac and ran arkade get again and suddenly it works!

[alexellis]

No worries. Do take a look at how you can combine several arkade commands for a powerful workflow like these: for openfaas or a docker registry with cert-manager -> https://docs.inlets.dev/#/get-started/quickstart-ingresscontroller-cert-manager
