Error: writing blob: uploading layer chunked: received unexpected HTTP status: 500 Internal Server Error

Resolution

  • Run the following command from root user and try pushing the image again:

    # sudo chown --recursive pulp:pulp /var/lib/pulp/media/artifact/

Root Cause

  • The error arises because of incorrect permissions of /var/lib/pulp/media/artifact/ directory on Private Automation Hub at server level.

Diagnostic Steps

  • The following error is observed inside /var/log/messages on Private Automation Hub server:
