[banthalabs]

Environmental Info:
K3s Version:

N/A unable to install

Node(s) CPU architecture, OS, and Version:

root@k3s:~# uname -a
Linux k3s 6.8.0-36-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jun 10 10:49:14 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Cluster Configuration:

N/A unable to install

Describe the bug:

On an lxd ubuntu 24.04 vm instance, running the command curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh - fails due to the hash file https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases/download/stable/sha256sum-amd64.txt not being found

Steps To Reproduce:

sudo snap install lxd
sudo lxd init
lxc launch ubuntu:24.04 k3s --vm -c limits.cpu=4 -c limits.memory=4GiB
lxc shell k3s
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -

Expected behavior:

Install script should be able to download hash files and complete install
curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -

[INFO] No change detected so skipping service start

Actual behavior:

install script tries to download from stable but the file cannot be found
root@k3s:~# curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -
[INFO] Finding release for channel stable
[INFO] Using stable as release
[INFO] Downloading hash https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases/download/stable/sha256sum-amd64.txt
[ERROR] Download failed

Additional context / logs:

Doing a curl on the url returns not found
root@k3s:~# curl https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/releases/download/stable/sha256sum-amd64.txt
Not Found

When running the installer on a ubuntu 24.04 desktop, the installer selects v1.29.6+k3s2 as the release and is able to download the hash files. However, when running on a ubuntu 24.04 lxd vm, the install selects stable as the release instead.
