That's an interesting one. I can open arduino.esp8266.com both in browser and in in command line with curl. However if i connect to a VPN in Japan, i can't resolve the IP.

@NuclearCookie can you check if opening http://download.igrr.me/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json in a browser works for you?

If it works, then likely there is some issue with esp8266.com DNS. If it doesn't, then it's some other issue.

Hi @igrr,

Thanks for the swift response.
The link you sent works fine in my browser.

I thought at first that the adress might not have been available behind my firewall, but I tried on my phone using cellular data and even then I can't access the page. (I'm in Belgium).

Any suggestion?

NuclearCookie on 4 May 2017

I guess that's some DNS issue with arduino.esp8266.com record. I don't have access to this configuration though, maybe @themindfactory can check?

igrr on 4 May 2017

Yes, same here "This site can’t be reached",...

I get "Server not found" for http://arduino.esp8266.com/ and http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
I'm located in the United States

I get an error in the Arduino IDE:

Error downloading http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

whenever this happens and I first noticed it a couple hours ago. I'd be surprised I hadn't seen it earlier if it's really been 3 days.

per1234 on 4 May 2017

same here (Poland)
if that's the DNS issue, can anyone provide a server's IP address?

nazgee on 4 May 2017

104.131.82.128 seems to work - unfortunately this not sufficient. hence I use the github version and even there you need to replace the url in the package file inside the package folder with this ip. but this seems to do the trick... cheers, sascha.

Based on the bandwidth graphs, i think DNS only went down today (also i got the monitoring notifications a few minutes before this issue was opened).

igrr on 4 May 2017

@wolter How did you manage to do that? If I replace the http://arduino.esp8266.com by the IP, I get errors from python that the requiest is an unknown url type

raise ValueError("unknown url type: %r" % self.full_url)
ValueError: unknown url type: '104.131.82.128/linux64-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9.tar.gz'

I kind of need this today so even if it's through a hack, I'd be super happy :)

NuclearCookie on 4 May 2017

@NuclearCookie , this link works for me in Arduino IDE too
http://download.igrr.me/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

ScruffR on 4 May 2017

Hi @ScruffR, That works indeed, but it doesn't fix the problem because that files just references to files on the arduino.esp8266 website. It's not a full mirror of the repository :(

NuclearCookie on 4 May 2017

@NuclearCookie : I guess, you removed the http? I attached my package_esp8266com_index.template.json (folder Arduinohardwareesp8266comesp8266package) for your convenience (
package_esp8266com_index.template.json.txt
). Hope, it helps. Unfortunately this is not a generic solution, because IPs can change...

wolter on 4 May 2017

btw these are the instructions how to use the github version: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino#using-git-version - with my fix you get finally rid of the DNS error... cheers, sascha.

That works like a charm. Thanks for helping out with this temporary solution!

The git instructions didn't work for me on Windows 8.1Pro 64bit 😩

ScruffR on 4 May 2017

@ScruffR make sure you have python installed and you use/create the correct folder structure and that you once forked change the package file as described in my previous posts.

Its just a DNS Problem. Server is working great.
Workaround until the problem is fixed:
add this in hosts file
104.131.82.128 arduino.esp8266.com
then use another json file. For example: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/download/2.3.0/package_esp8266com_index.json

Effecting Travis CI, Pull request is failing. I guess we wait for a solution?

Change hosts file as @scrodev suggest. But it not work when downloading from arduino IDE.
Error downloading http://arduino.esp8266.com/linux64-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9.tar.gz
In my browser when I browse to http://arduino.esp8266.com/linux64-xtensa-lx106-elf-gb404fb9.tar.gz It show Service unavailable.

For now you can download the json file and replace all arduino.esp8266.com to 104.131.82.128 then run your web server and change Board Manager Url to your localhost server.

dogrocker on 5 May 2017

Not quite sure how changing my local hosts file is going to help Travel CI accept my pull request to the repo... Trying to add changes. If that is what you are meaning?

loquendowolf on 5 May 2017

If I download the library directly
Where to copy that file into the arduino folder

loquendowolf on 5 May 2017

Tested working in win7 and win10 by adding hosts entry

Go to Start > run Notepad.
Right click on the Notepad icon and select Run as a administrator.
Select Open from the File menu option.
Browse to c:windowssystem32driversetchosts. (etc folder may be hidden, if its not shown just type file path )
Add the host name and IP address (as shown in following line) to the bottom of the host file.
104.131.82.128 arduino.esp8266.com
Save the host file.

You are all set to go. Original link http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json will work now.

Yay seems like DNS is fixed!

igrr on 5 May 2017

Suggestion: why not use the github copy as the official board manager link ? Repeated issues #1689 #1951 #2664 #3035 show that relying on a custom domain (even though it's owned by Espressif) may not be a very good idea... Of course, it will require a migration which probably means uninstalling and reinstalling, but that may be worth the hassle to get rid of these issues once and for all... Just my 2 cents.

Windows is (as always) the big one... 28% uploaded so far... :/

majenkotech on 5 May 2017

Ok, uploads done. Unfortunately I don't have the ARM Linux version of the compiler.

Thanks majenkotech.
Was able to install everything from your server, using your .json and Arduino IDE 1.8.1;

illukas on 5 May 2017

Thanks @majenkotech
Is working http://majenko.co.uk/esp8266/package_esp8266com_index.json

In Argentina no working

carlosvolt on 6 May 2017

Fixed again :)

@vicnevicne I am all for hosting this on Github (the server is not affiliated with Espressif).

The site is also down here in Philippines.

I used the link of @JoranJix above and successfully downloaded and installed the boards. Thanks.

Waiting for the permanent fix....

http://arduino.esp8266.com/ shows 'no file specified' now when I load it in the browser, rather than page cannot be found/displayed etc. Is it back up?

4dsystems on 6 May 2017

@4dsystems I had the same message via chrome, but wget http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json works. More importantly, our projects Travis builds are working again.

crankyoldgit on 6 May 2017

My Travis CI build failed :(
Gets quite far, then this:

@shariramani Thanks for your advice. On Windows10, I enabled hidden files and navigated to "C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts". I then opened the file with notepad and added the line 104.131.82.128 arduino.esp8266.com. I deleted the old sloeber folder, extracted afresh and ran sloeber.exe. All ESP files are now downloading to arduinoPlugin/packages automatically as I write this.

Topaz2015 on 6 May 2017

@igrr If I'm not mistaken, all it would take is point users to https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases/download/2.3.0/package_esp8266com_index.json - or a slightly modified version thereof if we want to make it independent of esp8266.com, is that correct ?
(Sorry, I thought the server was Espressif's as they registered the domain -https://www.whois.com/whois/esp8266.com )

vicnevicne on 8 May 2017

I tried several times and it failed. So I manually downloaded the json file from http://arduino.esp8266.com/versions/2.3.0/package_esp8266com_index.json and mirrored on http://info.lk/static/package_esp8266com_index.json

Now it work for me. I'm leaving the file on that server for anyone having the same problem to use.

igrr, thanks, it worked and helped me a lot! :+1: :1st_place_medal:

angelica-and on 11 May 2017

I am getting the same issue, @4dsystems ? Did you manage to resolve this ?

Thanks @majenkotech !!
http://majenko.co.uk/esp8266/package_esp8266com_index.json - this link is working but it needs a server outside China

sherrychen1120 on 15 May 2017

That server is a long long way outside china. It's in the UK. True, it's only a VPS, but it actually responds faster than the dedicated server it replaced at a fraction of the cost.
