Aborted, download verification failed

Hi all,

I’m trying to download Caddy using curl https://getcaddy.com | bash -s personal as I always did, but this time I got Downloading Caddy for linux/amd64 (personal license)... Aborted, download verification failed.

It’s running on a Amazon EC2 Tokyo instance, purely new installed Amazon Linux 2 AMI.

I’ve googled but found nothing helpful. What is wrong?

Is that all the output? If you can paste the full command and its output so we can reproduce it, we can diagnose the problem.

Hi @matt, that’s basically all the output. More here:

[ec2-user@ip-x-x-x-x ~]$ sudo curl https://getcaddy.com | bash -s personal

Downloading Caddy for linux/amd64 (personal license)...

[ec2-user@ip-x-x-x-x ~]$ 

I also had commanded it as directly root user, it produced the same result.

I really appreciate your help.

No update?

I had to install Caddy manually.

It’s not a big problem, but still inconvenient.

Still running into the issue? Worked fine for me just now.

@Whitestrake It worked fine on my other VPS too, just not working on AWS EC2. I should probably stop asking here.

That error message occurs specifically when download verification via gpg fails; might be a good place to start looking?
