Can you download this file
https://github.com/airbytehq/helm-charts/blob/main/airbyte-1.2.0.tgz, extract it and run abctl local install --port 8087 --chart=path/to/extracted/folder ?
Maybe it will work as a workaround

I have extract airbyte-1.2.0.tgz and add charts folder in chart argument but this don’t work. Maybe i mistake some step.

you know how i can update certificate ?

5

Few other questions.
What operating system do you have?
Maybe you can update CA certificates if you have enough permissions

Do you use proxy/firewall?
Maybe you need to check this with a person responsible for network security.

6

I use wsl2 on linux amd64

7

I don’t know. Use Google to find how to do that. I don’t even know what kind of linux distribution you have Ubuntu, Debian or something else.

8

Yes i have a Ubuntu22.04 distribution

9

wich file or folder i must add in chart argument for abctl local install ? on the airbyt1.2.0.tgz

10

when it comes to option --chart= , it should be airbyte, not charts inside airbyte

11

For Ubuntu you need something like this

sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates
sudo update-ca-certificates```
12

Okay but how i can add airbyte certificates ?

13

Okay I have test with --chart=airbyte where airbyte are the folder extract but he didn’t work
