I tried following the steps in the guide (Install Instructions | Waydroid), but when I click ‘Download’, it doesn’t do anything. Here are the logs:

Waiting for waydroid container service...

The issue is not Fedora Related it is Waydroid related.

Did you pass

https://ota.waydro.id/system

In system OTA?

and

https://ota.waydro.id/vendor

in Vendor OTA?

Probably, but I also wanted to discuss this topic further.

Yes, I followed the exact guide linked above.

It might be that your text-editor or clipboard added a stray \n when you pasted the URL.

Can you please check
cat /etc/waydroid/waydroid.cfg | grep -A 2 "system_ota\|vendor_ota"
If it shows something other than those two links, clean it up by
sudo waydroid init --force

Sorry about that. Here is the updated log:

It says, “No such file or directory”.

The initial download error (HTTP 522) goes away when using a VPN, but I still encounter issue #656 after installation unless the VPN remains connected.

Do these help?

I already checked the documentation, but it wasn’t helpful—and neither was the Reddit thread, which basically just regurgitates the official docs anyway.
