Cannot use create new controller via juju bootstrap -- server misbehaving error

I am attempting to setup a new controller via ‘juju bootstrap’ against my vCenter instance running in a homelab environment. I was able to register juju with vecenter, but when I run the following command:

juju bootstrap --config datastore=“ceph-datastore” homelab --debug

It seems to be failing when its trying do install the Juju machine agent on the new instance: …
