Our team facing same issue...

Same issue

HighScorePlayer commented 1 year ago

Same issue

It seems like that the server is now under maintenance, or you can say it is updating.

Vrashabh-Sontakke commented 1 year ago

3 days ?

3 days ?

I don' know. I don't even find where the notification is.

Are you still getting that error?

essn commented 1 year ago

Same here - exact same error.

I did notice the following:

# distrod/libs/src/container_org_image.rs

static LINUX_CONTAINERS_ORG_BASE: &str = "https://images.linuxcontainers.org/";

Checking Wayback Machine it looks like https://images.linuxcontainers.org recently started redirecting to https://us.lxd.images.canonical.com/.

Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20230801000000*/images.linuxcontainers.org.

I think I successfully used Distrod with https://linuxcontainers.org before the Wayback Machine redirects, so it may not matter. I'll dig deeper, time allowing.

Are you still getting that error?

Yeah. I tried it just now. It is definitely a headache.

I guessed the domain name of the source was down or changed.

Anyway, thanks man.

Do you know any alternative? Without considering Docker.

yanorei32 commented 1 year ago

I use this software because WSL2 (except the store version) doesn't support systemd . The store version has a critical issue and can not start in session 0. https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/9231 I hope this issue resolve.

https://github.com/DDoSolitary/LxRunOffline looks pretty cool! Glad I was following this issue.

That said, I'd still be interested in a Distrod fix šŸ˜‚

I have not tried to use Distrod recently the download issue may or may not still be a problem.

Anyone still experiencing it?

The problem, for me is that I can not run a desktop environment (DE) on wsl2 stablely, may because AMD integrated graphics can not be identified by wsl2 or KDE plasma. I have already installed the v gpu drivers.

Finally I gave up installing the desktop application.

I recently wiped and reinstalled everything on my laptop, and I am now encountering this issue. Do we have any solutions for distrod to actually work the way it used to?

Vrashabh-Sontakke commented 1 year ago

I guess the automation for fetching images is now outdated.

The issue seems to lie in the way container_org_images::fetch_apache_file_list parses the received data. It's assuming a table structure, but something forced a change that makes the path to the links body > pre > a with the date information being in the parent <pre> element. Rewriting the parser to sort of work isn't an issue, adapting the date extraction is a bit more effort, but I can't test it any changes to propose a fix in my current dev env. Will look into writing a PR to fix it soon-ish.

Luckily the URL used still works, and doesn't seem changed compared to what it used to be, making this a rather easy fix. If anyone has build instructions available in a more readable format than the GH Workflow YAML files, that'd be much appreciated

CaseyLabs commented 1 year ago

@nullpo-head - would it be possible to have a new build of distrod with the linuxcontainer URL fixed? Thanks!

For those who found this and don't know what to do:

As for now, you can download a rootfs.tar.xz build artifact from LinuxContainers' public Jenkins CI Instance for the distribution of your choice.

Just to add a bit more detail - this does work, for example I navigated to:

https://jenkins.linuxcontainers.org/job/image-rockylinux/lastBuild/architecture=amd64,release=9,variant=default/

And then downloaded that rootfs.tar.xz, chose option 1, and set the path to ../rootfs.tar.xz

httpete commented 11 months ago

DistroD is such a great tool - I really hope someone fixes this download thing.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a functional fork. I'll see what I can do over this weekend.

EDIT: Took a look, seems like the entire codebase needs to be revamped. Are you looking for new maintainers @nullpo-head?

I have tried to use linux distributions with "tar.gz"-like file suffix to deploy the arch distribution directly but in the end it seams like the tool Distro with tar.xz is best.
