GAPPS installation fails with DNS resolution error because the URL uses a specific SourceForge mirror subdomain (netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net) that's no longer available.

Changes

  • first-boot.sh: Updated wget URL to use SourceForge's official /projects/.../files/.../download endpoint instead of mirror-specific subdomain
- wget https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/opengapps/x86_64/20220503/open_gapps-x86_64-11.0-pico-20220503.zip?viasf=1 -O gapps-11.zip
+ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/x86_64/20220503/open_gapps-x86_64-11.0-pico-20220503.zip/download -O gapps-11.zip

The official endpoint automatically redirects to available mirrors, preventing future URL breakage from mirror infrastructure changes.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • sourceforge.net
    • Triggering command: /usr/bin/wget wget --spider --max-redirect=5 REDACTED (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

The URL needs to be updated to:
```wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/x86_64/20220503/open_gapps-x86_64-11.0-pico-20220503.zip?viasf=1```
