    Hi everyone,

    I started a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VPS at Hetzner Cloud:

    Welcome to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-41-generic x86_64)
    
     * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com
     * Management:     https://landscape.canonical.com
     * Support:        https://ubuntu.com/advantage
    
      System information as of Fri Jul 15 03:59:53 PM UTC 2022
    
      System load:  0.0               Processes:             146
      Usage of /:   5.6% of 37.23GB   Users logged in:       0
      Memory usage: 9%               
      Swap usage:   0%               
    
    
    0 updates can be applied immediately.
    

    but when I try to install Cloudron the setup runs into an error while checking for release informations:

    ##############################################
             Cloudron Setup (latest)
    ##############################################
    
     Follow setup logs in a second terminal with:
     $ tail -f /var/log/cloudron-setup.log
    
     Join us at https://forum.cloudron.io for any questions.
    
    => Updating apt and installing script dependencies
    => Checking version
    Failed to get release information
    

    I have already checked various hints from other posts, but none led to the solution. Do you maybe have any ideas?

    I hope anyone can help.

    Kai

        @girish This runs into

        # curl "https://api.cloudron.io/api/v1/releases?boxVersion="
        curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server
        

        There is no error output with other targets.

          @kk_cloudron take a look if the Firewall at Hetzner Robot is turned on. If so, turn it off ^^

            @subven Hehe, nice try 😉

            My steps after reading your post:

            • Firewall was opened at 80 and 443. - not working
            • Disabled Hetzner firewall - still not working
            • Checking iptables:
            # iptables -L
            Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
            target     prot opt source               destination
            
            Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
            target     prot opt source               destination

            target     prot opt source               destination
            
            • Checking ufw:
            # ufw status
            Status: inactive
            
            • Checking other curl targets:
            # curl "google.de"
            <HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

            The document has moved
            <A HREF="http://www.google.de/">here</A>.
            </BODY></HTML>
            
            • Ping api.cloudron.io:
            # ping -v api.cloudron.io
            ping: connect: Network is unreachable

            • Open api.cloudron.io in browser:
            Cannot GET /
            

            Do you get a positive result when ping or curl api.cloudron.io?

              Do u use IPv6? If so can you try to disable the IPv6 interface and just use IPv4? Hetzner has IPv6 only plans for their Cloud VPS but it should not fail due to ipv6. Since you have Firewall, Network or DNS issues there is no harm in trying.

              Your output for ping -v api.cloudron.io is odd...you should at least be able to resolve to 3.209.21.239.

                @kk_cloudron said in Installation runs into "Failed to get release information" (fresh Hetzner Ubuntu 22.04 Server):

                Do you get a positive result when ping or curl api.cloudron.io?

                The ping is not supposed to work. The curl should just return a 404 since there is nothing at the root path.

                $ curl https://api.cloudron.io
                <!DOCTYPE html>
                <html lang="en">

                  @subven I only use IPv6. So turning it off will be difficult

                  @girish All right. Thank you for the info. is there another way to pinpoint the cause of the problem?

                  I read somewhere that there may be problems with the images offered by Hetzner. Is it still relevant? Should I try installing a different image or is there a list of the required packages so I can compare?

                    "solved" - but I don't know for sure the exact reason that caused this. I set up a new server with both: IPv4 and IPv6.
                    So best explanation/guess: the installation only works if there is also an IPv4

                      @kk_cloudron that is correct, Cloudron requires IPv4 and does not work on IPv6 only servers (yet).
