I have a CentOS 8 based droplet and from today, dnf/yum update/install commands are not working. I am getting the following error now:
DigitalOcean Agent 0.0 B/s | 0 B 01:20
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘digitalocean-agent’:
- Curl error (6): Couldn’t resolve host name for https://repos.insights.digitalocean.com/yum/do-agent/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml [Could not resolve host: repos.insights.digitalocean.com] Error: Failed to download metadata for repo ‘digitalocean-agent’: Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
I have tried running on 2 different droplets and got the same error.
