cannot pull from registry

❯ fair pull simpleModel/ext/SEIRSconfig.yaml
fair run simpleModel/ext/SEIRSconfig.yaml

Error: Cannot perform pull from registry 'origin' as the server does not exist. Expected response from 'http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/'.
Is your FAIR repository configured correctly?
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does the config work out of the box? Or how should this be updated?

I also ran into this problem, and though I managed to fix it, it just led to a brand new problem I'm unable to solve. I think the recommendation to run fair init --ci is the culprit, as this sets a lot of default configuration details that can't be easily changed, including setting the registry port to 8001, while fair registry start uses port 8000 by default.

• Call fair purge to remove the local .fair folder. To remove any of the user data which was set by calling fair init --ci you have to go quite a bit further; I had to rm -rf my ~/.fair folder and reinstall the registry to fix it completely.
• Restart your registry using fair registry stop --force, fair registry start. Note the address it's running on and the location of the token.
• Call fair init without the --ci tag. Enter the address and token of the registry when prompted. If you started fresh, you'll also need to set things like user name/email. I set the remote api/data to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/ and http://127.0.0.1:8000/data/, but I'm unsure if this is correct.

On running fair pull simpleModel/ext/SEIRSconfig.yaml, I now get the following error:

Error: Failed to make registry API request 'https://127.0.0.1:8000/api/namespace/'
Is this remote correct and the server running?

I think the issue is that it's making a request using https instead of http, as http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/namespace appears to work just fine if you open it in a browser. Is this a bug, or have I just configured something wrong? I haven't found anything in the documentation or existing issues about it. I followed some online guides for getting https://localhost to work, but that didn't seem to help.

Never mind, I managed to fix this too. It turned out to be a self-inflicted error I'd introduced while experimenting with SEIRSconfig.yaml. It's now running fine for me. I think the advice in the README needs to be updated so that it doesn't recommend fair init --ci, and otherwise this would be resolved. For me, it still complains that I don't have access permission for https://data.scrc.uk/api/, but you can get around this by setting the remote api address to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/.
