SSL Issue when creating mirror

[richardcrossley]

On a fresh install of Miniconda on Linux Mint 18, 64 bit.

Attempting to create a mirror of conda-forge using "conda-mirror".

A 20 GB file system was prepared and mounted:

richard@goldlaptop /CondaMirror $ df -h ./
Filesystem                                  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_goldlaptop_b-lv_CondaMirror   20G   44M   19G   1% /CondaMirror

Conda mirror was installed:

conda install conda-mirror -c conda-forge

A mirror configuration file was created:

richard@goldlaptop /CondaMirror $ cat conda-mirror.conf 
blacklist:
    - license: "*agpl*"

whitelist:
    - name: system

An attempt to create a mirror of conda-forge was made, which gave an SSL error.

richard@goldlaptop /CondaMirror $ conda-mirror --upstream-channel conda-forge --target-directory /CondaMirror/conda-forge --platform linux-64 --config /CondaMirror/conda-mirror.conf

The connection to the internet is working well at this time.

Can you review my actions and suggest what I may have done incorrectly.

Hi @richardcrossley -- I have little experience with SSL. I really have no idea what the problem here is. Did you end up figuring out a workaround?

Sincere apologies for never responding to this issue. I missed it in the flood of github notifications 😞
