Troubleshooting and FAQ¶

General¶

Request Entity Too Large¶

This error occurs when your Factory has accumulated too much Target metadata to be signed by TUF. This happens because the targets.json containing all of your Targets that is associated with your Factory grows large over time:

Solution¶

Pruning (deletion) of Targets is a manual maintenance procedure you must consider when creating Targets over time.

The solution is to prune the Targets that you no longer need using Fioctl. This removes these targets from the targets.json associated with your Factory, allowing the production of new Targets.

Warning

Ensure there are no important devices running on a Target that is about to be pruned. If you are intending on pruning master, be careful and make sure you know what you are doing.

You can individually prune/delete targets by their Target number:

fioctl targets prune <target_number>

Or, you can prune by tag, such as devel or experimental:

fioctl targets prune --by-tag <tag>
