juju bootstrap gives this error: failed to create dqlite connection

  • 772

I'm trying to bootstrap juju on a lxd cluster cloud

Here the transcript of the command

sysop@kvmnode1:~/SVILUPPO/for_juju$ sudo juju bootstrap lxd-cloud

Juju is installed by snap and is version 2.6.2

LXD is version 3.13

The lxd cluster is on 3 kvm virtual machines. All os host and guests are Kubuntu 18.04 updated today.

What this error means?

How can avoid it?

  1. This is a strange error. It looks like output from an internal database (an instance of dqlite).

    However, it looks like Juju installed itself correctly. Can you try the following command? If it works okay, then hopefully the situation isn't so bad. 

    juju deploy ubuntu

    You can check to see if this worked by checking the output of juju status. After a minute or so, you should see active on the line with the ubuntu application.

    If this doesn't work, try restarting the controller machine. You can do this manually via SSH or via Juju:

    juju ssh -m controller 0
sudo reboot now

    Once the machine has restarted, the system should reset itself. juju deploy ubuntu should work.
