https://galaxy.ansible.com/api has been flaky most of the day

[CVanF5]

Seems like the API has been up and down all day today, and I don't appear to be alone

Some requests fail

We are seeing the same issue.

same here

Getting a lot of this while running ansible-galaxy install -r ansible/galaxy-requirements.yml

Starting galaxy collection install process
Process install dependency map
ERROR! Unknown error when attempting to call Galaxy at 'https://galaxy.ansible.com/api/': The read operation timed out

It works ~25% of the time since yesterday morning.

Increasing the timeout seems to be a sufficient workaround when running ansible-galaxy install:

ansible-galaxy install -r ansible/galaxy-requirements.yml --timeout 300

I have the same issues all the day from time to time with ansible-core 2.16.5 (also tries 2.15.10). It's absolute random on failing during ansible-galaxy install -r requierments.yml or using molecule 24.2.0 on dependencies stage. Also tried this recomendation. Glad that I found this issue when I'm went to write a new one :)

ansible-galaxy install -r ansible/galaxy-requirements.yml --timeout 300

Looks likt it's also possible via environment variable ANSIBLE_GALAXY_SERVER_TIMEOUT and molecule.yml file:

dependency:
  name: galaxy
  env:
    ANSIBLE_GALAXY_SERVER_TIMEOUT: 300
