Issue/Introduction

UCF Non Air Gapped Artifact copy failure:

./tcxctl copy --bom-file ./BOM-netops-25.4.3-6897.yaml -r https://x.x.x.x:30001/netops --registry-username <user> --registry-password <password> time="2025-xx-xx 12:00:00.000" level=info msg="Copying LCM control plane imgpkg bundles"

Error: Building import repository ref: repository can only contain the characters abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789_-./: /x.x.x.x:30001/netops/tcx-bootstrap

Environment

UCF 25.4.x

Resolution

Omit "https://" from the registry address.

Specify the registry as "x.x.x.x:30001/netops" and tcxctl will default to using https.

./tcxctl copy --bom-file ./BOM-netops-25.4.3-6897.yaml -r x.x.x.x:30001/netops --registry-username <user> --registry-password <password> time="2025-xx-xx 12:00:00.000" level=info msg="Copying LCM control plane imgpkg bundles"

Additional Information

Engineering will work on a ticket for tcxctl to handle this situation more gracefully.
