On piglet join I get a TlsCertificateNotVerified

[AmmarKothari]

Hello,

Overall, i am excited to try out Piglet + pigAI. I have been trying to get things running.

I have setup a VM with windows 11 on my ubuntu host using VirtualBox. When i run piglet join --secret i repeatedly get

Failed to connect to control server: TlsCertificateNotVerified
Retrying control connection

Do you know what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you!

As a followup, i created an instance on EC2 and saw the same behavior. I feel like i might have missed a setup step, but I am not sure what it is.

This is a known issue related to the TLS certificates on freshly-created machines (VMs, EC2) where the machines have yet to build up the certs from Well-Known providers.

I don't have a known process to resolve it yet - with enough usage (reboots, OS updates), the machines eventually acquire the right certs.

Will continue to investigate. If you find a workflow that seems to fix it, please share here.

Update: a few users have hit and overcome this, again always on fresh VMs, and the solution is vaguely "waiting", doing some web browsing, rebooting the VM. Will keep issue open till we have a clear solution.
