Tanzu Community Edition (TCE) was just launched a few days ago and a lot of folks are kicking the tires. Just yesterday, I saw that we had already surpassed over 2K+ downloads, a huge achievement for the TCE team and lots of positive feedback like this and this.
I had a comment today from a reader who ran into the following error when using TCE for Windows:
Downloading TKG compatibility file from 'projects.registry.vmware.com/tkg/framework-zshippable/tkg-compatibility'
Error: unable to create Tanzu Standalone Cluster client
Cause: unable to ensure prerequisites: unable to ensure tkg BOM file: failed to download TKG compatibility file from the registry: failed to list TKG compatibility image tags: Get "https://projects.registry.vmware.com/v2/": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
I immediately knew the issue as I ran into this myself a couple of days ago and started to look in TCE Github Issues.
This is currently a known issue for Windows that was reported awhile back and luckily, there is a quick workaround thanks to Steve Wong. Simply edit %USERPROFILE%\.config\tanzu\tkg\config.yaml configuration file and replace it with the following snippet:
release: version: "" TKG_CUSTOM_IMAGE_REPOSITORY_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY: true
I have asked if the TCE folks can update the documentation to at least reference this workaround until this issue is resolved. I have noticed a few folks in TCE Slack channel also reporting this same issue and figure it was worth sharing in case others come across it.
Thanks William & Steve! First hit on Google and directly the issue is resolved!
Thank you!
Thank you so much !! This still an issue till version 0.12.1 of Tanzu Com Edition. However your workaround still working with its all versions !!
September 2023, workaround still works! Thank you. And yes, I know Tanzu CE is deprecated but I still want to check it out before I move to Tanzu K8s Grid
