Most commands on custom devices like balena config generate --fleet FleetWithCustomDevice --version 2.98.12 --dev --debug fail when calling SDK function config.ts: getDeviceTypeManifestBySlug() which executes an api call to /device-types/v1.

Looking at /device-types/v1 in the api it builds a list of device type slugs in device-types-list.ts: getDeviceTypes() which downloads a list of all folders in the S3 bucket configured in IMAGE_STORAGE_BUCKET/IMAGE_STORAGE_PREFIX where all public device images are stored.

Obviously our custom device image is not available in this S3 bucket. I don't know if the balena-sdk repo should be updated to not use v1 endpoints any more or the v1 endpoint in open-balena-api should be fixed.

edit: The command balena-dev os configure ./myimge.img --fleet FleetWithCustomDevice --debug results in a call to api route /download-config which calls device-types.ts: findBySlug() that also utilizes the device-types from the S3 bucket.
