Hello,
I’m using MAAS 3.6 installed via snap and I’m experiencing an issue with changing the base repository URL. I can successfully change the URL in the settings, and the system does use my custom repositories that I’ve added, but it also continues to include the default ubuntu.archive repository during commissioning and installation. This prevents successful installation since I’m trying to use only my custom repositories.
version: 3.6.0-17541-g.561fe1a3e

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
I’ve been able to solve the commissioning error with a script that deletes the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources at the beginning of commissioning, but I don’t know how to fix the same issue during the start of the installation process.
Is there a way to completely disable or replace the default ubuntu.archive repository in the snap version of MAAS 3.6
Thank you!
