Juju-Openstack provider "juju metadata generate-image" needs a controller to exist

[Yanos Angelopoulos]

Trying to use Juju with OpenStack as cloud provider, I did the following:

1) juju add-cloud - I chose "openstack"

cloud name : "test1"

2) juju add-credential test1

3) Then: juju bootstrap test1
ERROR failed to bootstrap model: no image metadata found

4) juju metadata generate-image -d ~/simplestreams -i {os_iamge_id} -s xenial -r RegionOne -u https://test1_openstack:5000/v3
ERROR No controllers registered.

So no way to proceed..

Thanks to "hml" and "rick_h__" from the IRC channel I got around it doing:

"juju bootstrap localhost test_lxd"
"mkdir -p ~/simplestreams/images"
"juju metadata generate-image -d ~/simplestreams -i {os_iamge_id} -s xenial -r RegionOne -u https://test1_openstack:5000/v3"

"juju bootstrap test1 test1-controller --metadata-source ~/simplestreams/images"

Can you please speak to what version of Juju you have? I'd have expected this to be corrected in https://bugs.launchpad.net/juju/+bug/1785205

Marking as incomplete as we await and I'll see if I can dupe around the 2.4.3 release.

So on 2.4.5 I can see that if I use juju-metadata I get the help and the command works but if I do juju metadata that it fails with the no controller error. Marking as confirmed and something we should clean up.

The version used was 2.4.4 as a snap container.
