Initialization

Common issues when you are initializing MAAS

Special chars in the postgres password

If you have special characters in the postgres password, you have to properly encode them in order to be able to initialize MAAS. For example, if you have a password like G@oodPassword!, then you have to encode it as G%40oodPassword%21.

So the command to run is:

sudo maas init region+rack --database-uri "postgres://maas:G%40odPassword%21@localhost/maasdb"
