📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Hi,

script installations are failing with

  ✔️  LXC Template is ready to use.
  ✖️  Container creation failed. Checking if template is corrupted.
  ✖️  Container creation failed, but template is not corrupted.
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 400

This is my config file:

CT_TYPE="1"
var_os="debian"
BRG="vmbr2"
DISABLEIP6="no"
SSH="yes"
TAGS="community-script"
SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEY="<REDACTED>"
VERB="yes"
GATE="192.168.0.1"

vmbr2 is an OVS bridge, not a Linux bridge. I can also not select any OVS bridges when running the script with advanced options.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

1. Start script
2. Unable to select OVS bridge in installer
3. Abort

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

  ✔️  LXC Template is ready to use.
  ✖️  Container creation failed. Checking if template is corrupted.
  ✖️  Container creation failed, but template is not corrupted.
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 400

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Not that it matters for this error, but StirlingPDF script needs a update, as they have changed some of the dependencies

@jwgn
Can you please post cat /etc/network/interfaces and cat/network/interfaces/interfaces.d/sdn

[michelroegl-brunner]

do you have any files in this folder? /network/interfaces/interfaces.d/. If so, can you also post the contents here please?

[michelroegl-brunner]

But as i think about it, you should be able to just use vmbr02 when you want to use the OVS?

[jwgn]

/etc/network/interfaces.d/ is empty.

I cannot select vmbr2 and vmbr4 in the install menu. Both are OVS bridges.

[michelroegl-brunner]

i check i tommorow, i guess o have a idea what is wrong

[michelroegl-brunner]

@jwgn found the issue in the grep, it will be fixed when #4495 merges.

[filippolauria]

@filippolauria have you an idea? never used OVS

@MickLesk , yes. I think the PR #4495 by @michelroegl-brunner will fix the issue.
