are you using localhost:8000?
have you run other abctl local install before?

3

• are you using localhost:8000? -> yes, I’m trying to install airbyte server locally
• have you run other abctl local install before? -> yes, I tried abctl local install and abctl local install --username &lt;username&gt; --password &lt;password&gt; all giving me the same error.

4

which version of abctl are you using? because --username, --password were deprecated and hidden

I’d suggest

  1. upgrading to the latest abctl version
  2. abctl local uninstall --persisted
  3. abctl local install --secret secret.yaml
5

• abctl version: 0.11.1
• tried abctl local uninstall --persisted and rm -rf ~/.airbyte/abctl after every unsuccessful attempts.

6

it’s weird that the simplest install doesn’t work
what operating system are using?

7

macOS Sonoma version 14.4.1, Apple M2 chip.

8

I use macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Apple M1 chip and I haven’t experienced issues like this

9

hmm, it just acting weird then. Thanks <@U05JENRCF7C>, really appreciate all the help.

10

Should I try to upgrade the OS version even though I doubt it would make any differences.

11

nah, it shouldn’t make difference

you can try to debug and check if there is something in pods that might give you a clue
