Error enabling community addon in MicroK8s 1.30.1

[JosePedro90]

Summary

I encountered an error when trying to enable the community addon in MicroK8s version 1.30.1. The error message suggests an issue with repository ownership and permissions. This issue did not occur in MicroK8s version 1.29, where the same command worked fine.

What Should Happen Instead?

The community addon should be enabled without any errors, as it did in version 1.29.

Reproduction Steps

1. Install MicroK8s version 1.30.1
2. Run the command microk8s enable community

Thank you for reporting this @JosePedro90 . While we are working on a fix, can you try sudo microk8s enable community ?

[JosePedro90]

I tried using sudo and the issue remained

[tdeckers]

Got the same error. Running the suggested command fixes the problem:

git config --global --add safe.directory /snap/microk8s/current/addons/community/.git

git config --global --add safe.directory /snap/microk8s/current/addons/community/.git

works for me

That worked for me as well, though I had to install Git this time, which wasn’t necessary before.
