# Image Upload Fails due to Missing Endpoint

## Problem

* Image upload is failing via CLI due to missing `admin` endpoint.

```bash
$ echo $OS_INTERFACE
admin

$ openstack image create --insecure --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 --file <IMAGE_PATH> <IMAGE_NAME>
admin endpoint for image service in [REGION_NAME] region not found
```

## Environment

* Platform9 Cloud Director Virtualization - v2025.4 and Higher
* Component - Image Library

## Cause

* Image uploads greater than 1 Gi are recommended to be performed via CLI command. Also, adding an admin endpoint interface is a prerequisite before uploading the image via CLI.
* The `admin` endpoint is missing from glance service catalog; that blocks any Glance administrative tasks.

```bash
$ openstack catalog show image
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field     | Value                                                                     |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| endpoints | [REGION_NAME]                                                             |
|           |   public: https:__[FQDN]_glance_                                          |
|           | [REGION_NAME]                                                             |
|           |   internal: http:__glance-api.[REGION_NAME].svc.cluster.local:9292_       | 
| id        | [IMAGE_UUID]                                                              |
| name      | glance                                                                    |
| type      | image                                                                     |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
```

* It can also be verified by listing endpoint information for a image service.

```bash
$ openstack --insecure endpoint list --service image --region <REGION_NAME>
+------------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ID               | Region        | Service Name | Service Type | Enabled   | Interface | URL                                                     |
+------------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| [ENDPOINT_UUID1] | [REGION_NAME] | glance       | image        | True      | public    | https:__[FQDN]_glance_                                  |
| [ENDPOINT_UUID1] | [REGION_NAME] | glance       | image        | True      | internal  | http:__glance-api.[REGION_NAME].svc.cluster.local:9292_ |
+----------------------------------+--------------+--------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---------------------------------------------+
```

## Resolution

* Manually creating admin endpoint for the image service will allow the images to be uploaded.

```bash
$ openstack endpoint create --region <REGION_NAME> image admin https:__<GLANCE_HOST_IP>:9494
```

* Verfiy the newly created `admin` endpoint.

```bash
$ openstack catalog show image
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field     | Value                                                                     |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| endpoints | [REGION_NAME]                                                             |
|           |   public: https:__[FQDN]_glance_                                          |
|           | [REGION_NAME]                                                             |           |           |   admin: https:__[HOST_IP]:9494                                           |
|           | [REGION_NAME]                                                             |
|           |   internal: http:__glance-api.[REGION_NAME].svc.cluster.local:9292_       |
| id        | [IMAGE_UUID]                                                              |
| name      | glance                                                                    |
| type      | image                                                                     |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
```

## Additional Information

* When the `OS_INTERFACE` is set as `public`*\[default configuration]*, image upload fails with the below error. This is because, **nginx** placed in front of Glance API, blocks an image upload (or download) as the file size exceeds the configured limit *\[not more than 1Gi]*.

```bash
HttpException: 413: Client Error for url: https:__[FQDN]_glance_v2_images_[IMAGE_UUID]_file, 413 Request Entity Too Large: nginx
```
