[SOLVED] New Appwrite Instance not working with CLI

I'm running into an issue where when I run appwrite client --endpoint [endpoint] I am getting the error: ✗ Error Invalid endpoint or your Appwrite server is not running as expected..

I've tried deleting and changing the ~/.appwrite/prefs.json with no luck. Once I did change it to {}, and I had thought I had figure it out. But when I rebuilt the server from scratch it doesn't work.

I've got a terraform+ansible script that provisions and creates the server cluster (docker swarm) so I know the cluster is exactly the same every time.

I've got another cluster I've had running for a while and that endpoint can be added every time, just not the new one. All the services are up and running in docker and I can create the whole database, functions, deployments, users, etc... the CLI just isn't wanting to connect.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

The endpoint is correct. It's formatted as https://subdomain.domain.com/v1. The DNS record is available and I can do whatever I want via the console.

I think that it might need to wait until the SSL is provisioned?

First try this

1. Delete (or move) ~/.appwrite/prefs.json file
2. curl your endpoint like so

curl endpoint.com/versions

Check if you're getting the versions JSON 3. Run this command

appwrite client --selfSigned true

4. Login

appwrite login

I'm getting a curl: (6) Could not resolve host: [domain] for the 2nd command. I was thinking that might be DNS, but the browser can access it. So something is taking a bit for curl to access it.

Browser and curl are running on the same machine?

yes

what version of appwrite are you on?

V1.3.8

so you did curl https://[DOMAIN]/versions and got the could not resolve host error?

Ya, but it reliability works after a while

Just take 10+ mins

So to summarize

• Accessing https://[DOMAIN]/versions in your browser works fast?
• Accessing https://[DOMAIN]/versions in the command line is slow?

Didn't try /versions in the browser, but the domain resolves and the console works.

So what doesn't?

appwrite-cli and curl not accessing /versions

Are you using wsl? mac? windows?

mac

Try to run

ipconfig /flushdns

Then run the curl https://[DOMAIN]/versions and share the results

next time I spin the cluster down and re-deploy I'll try that and /versions in the browser.

I believe this worked on macOS. I did have to use this instead of the command you used: sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
