Unable to Launch an image using file:// and https:// option outside of Linux #1029
Comments
Also, tried with the image mentioned in the below link, however, this fails with the same above message.
Tried with https, face the same issue.

Hi @SunilManika, launching local images is only currently supported on Linux, we're working on how to make this a supported feature cross-platform. |
Duplicate of #1028 |
This is ridiculous! You should have made this clear, since you claim that multipass in cross-platform tool! |
I agree with some of the comments here. The documentation mentions nowhere that http and file based images are not supported on certain platforms. This needs to be updated in the documentation. |
It is so frustrating when some of the basic features/bugs are not listed on the site when you download this stuff. If you combined this particular issue with the timeout issue (often default size being 500 MB) , you cant expect the download to complete in 10 sec! I wish these kind of defects which ends up wasting your time are listed upfront when you are download! |
Hi @kd303, sorry you're having troubles. The timeout is not for the whole file. It will time out if no data at all is received in 10s. If you have a different experience, please file a new issue. If you're getting "Network timeout" errors, that suggests something isn't right with your network. If you can't improve that, you could use a proxy between you and the Internet, which Multipass would use. |
Not everybody have perfect networks, What needs is flag to increase 10s default timeout limit, Something like --timeout-seconds=30. |
Or
Or image download should resume where it stop, Not start image download from beginning. |
I advocate including this information in the documentation, since it's quite frustrating to face such a situation after having downloaded 300MB+ image file! |
@Saviq Any update on this? It has been a year. |
@Saviq Any update on this? Does Multipass support local image now? |
@aojie654 sorry, no news yet. |
Still happening on 1.8.0 and the documentation has removed the limitation mentioned. |
Any update on this? |
does this feature enable in macos ? |
mid 2024 and this still not work on MacOS :( |
We have re-used the example (template.json) mentioned in the below link and have created a custom multipass image with packer.

The image (packer-qemu.img) was created successful with packer.
When trying to launch the image, I get the below error.
multipass launch file://packer-qemu.img launch failed: http and file based images are not supported
