Hi guys, There seem to be a problem during collections install from [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com). ```auto ERROR! Error when getting collection version metadata for community.library_inventory_filtering_v1:1.1.5 from release_galaxy (https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/) (HTTP Code: 500, Message: Internal Server Error Code: Unknown) ``` Also, the UI Search ([galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com)) is failing with HTTP Error 500. Is this known? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/f/f193cc865271aede414298de36ad63282399f5e4.png) ---

I noticed this earlier in CI this morning, quite a few jobs are failing because of this. No idea whether anyone from RH already knows though… ---

The UI also has the same 500 errors, but apparently doesn’t handle these errors well, and instead claims that things don’t exist, or seems to be loading forever. (I’ll create a separate thread for this to report it.) Edit: [Galaxy does not handle errors (like 500) from the backend](https://forum.ansible.com/t/45172) ---

Can confirm, `ansible-galaxy collection install` in GitHub Actions fails with 500s as well. Fingers crossed, someone can fix this without too much effort. But I would understand, if they only started to work on it Monday morning. ---

If you are working in an environment without internet access, you can still use Ansible collections by downloading and packaging them in advance, then installing them locally. First, create two directories: one for cloning collection repositories and one for storing offline packages. ```auto mkdir -p collections_offline/ mkdir -p collections_repos/ ``` Clone the collection source code from GitHub. ```auto cd collections_repos/ git clone https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general cd community.general ``` Build the collection package using Ansible Galaxy. This will generate a versioned `.tar.gz` file. ```auto ansible-galaxy collection build ``` Move the generated archive to the offline collections directory. ```auto mv community-general-12.3.0.tar.gz ../../collections_offline ``` Then install the collections ```auto ansible-galaxy collection install \ ./collections_offline/*.tar.gz \ -p collections ``` To make Ansible use locally installed collections, add the following setting to your `ansible.cfg` file: ```auto collections_paths = collections ``` and rename your `requirements.yml` to explicitly force it not to talk to Galaxy ---

What if we have some collection installed online and some offline, how we deal with that situation? Do you have any setup like that? BTW I think the collections\_paths can be absolute path right and in that path we can have multiple collections installed. ---

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve ask the Galaxy team to take a look at report back here. I’ve created a banner topic for the Forum. Please keep the discussion useful, ie “I see this too” or “let me know when it’s fixed” don’t move help the discussion. ---

Can you fix the banner? It says [ansible.galaxy.com](http://ansible.galaxy.com) when it is [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com), it made me think the website was down as well as the link didn’t work. ---

I don’t know if it helps the investigation. But I will say that yesterday I couldn’t even login to Ansible galaxy from the UI (I would get 500 error). Today it is working, but as you know getting collection metadata for example is down for me.(and CI fails) ---

To bypass the problem, you can switch to git, e.g. ```auto - name: signalfx.splunk_otel_collector ``` ↓ ```auto - name: https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector.git#/deployments/ansible/ type: git ``` or ```auto - name: community.zabbix version: 4.1.1 ``` ↓ ```auto - name: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.zabbix.git type: git version: 4.1.1 ``` ---

Do we have any way to get an ETA for this? Has the issue been identified and how bad is it? We need to know if we need point directly to git repos. Thank you! [Next page](https://forum.ansible.com/t/galaxy-ansible-com-currently-down-500-errors/45170.md?page=2)
