In an airgapped environment, though the prerequisites are already installed still snapd reaches out to intenet to get the prerequistes

• Ensure prerequisites for “microk8s” are available (cannot install system snap “snapd”: Post “https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/refresh”: dial tcp: lookup api.snapcraft.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:41496->[::1]:53: read: connection refused)

OS: RHEL9/3

How to fix this?

Thanks, Ashok

HI dasashokkumar,

IF I understand this correctly, is perhaps more of a snapd question? See: System options | Snapcraft documentation

system store.access: snap set system store.access=offline When set to offline , prevents the system for initiating connections to the Store.
