Template download error

Hi. I am trying to download a container template for Ubuntu 20.4 but every time i try it always comes up with the following error.

downloading http://download.proxmox.com/images/system/ubuntu-20.04-standard_20.04-1_amd64.tar.gz to /var/lib/vz/template/cache/ubuntu-20.04-standard_20.04-1_amd64.tar.gz
--2023-05-24 08:13:30-- http://download.proxmox.com/images/system/ubuntu-20.04-standard_20.04-1_amd64.tar.gz
Resolving download.proxmox.com (download.proxmox.com)... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
TASK ERROR: download failed: wget: unable to resolve host address 'download.proxmox.com'

Anybody have any ideas why?

Seems like a DNS problem, for troubleshooting it might help to check if your host can

• resolve other domains, e.g., ping debian.org?
• reach out to the internet at all, e.g., ping 144.217.225.162 our North American CDN or ping 8.8.8.8 (a classic google DNS server).

Depending on the result of above you may check your network settings (Node -> Network) or the configured DNS server (Node -> DNS).

FWIW, the general documentation for this is: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#sysadmin_network_configuration
