@kapa.ai I’m getting

ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

and

Failed to fetch

errors because the UI is trying to request PyPI URLs. Is there an official way to run Airbyte fully offline or disable these external network checks?

Airbyte currently cannot be run fully offline: it needs internet access to fetch connector metadata and other resources from GitHub, and several users who tried to deploy it without outbound access hit similar DNS /

unresolved AddressException

/ “Cannot reach server” failures. [[Installation failed](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/4116); [Issue Airbyte on GKE](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/763)] Support explicitly states: - “It is currently not possible to use Airbyte without an internet connection.” [[Installation failed](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/4116)] - Airbyte “requires internet access to be able fetch resources from our Github repo.” [[Issue with running with no internet](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/4042)] There is no documented, supported way in these sources to: - Run Airbyte completely offline, or - Disable all external network checks (including those to PyPI) while keeping the UI fully functional. You can disable telemetry/tracking, but that does not stop Airbyte from needing internet for core functionality: - Set

TRACKING_STRATEGY=logging

in

values.yaml

(Helm / self‑managed). [[Telemetry 1.7](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/1.7/operator-guides/telemetry); [Telemetry 1.6](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/1.6/operator-guides/telemetry)] - Or set

DO_NOT_TRACK

for PyAirbyte usage. [[Telemetry 1.7](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/1.7/operator-guides/telemetry)] Given the available documentation, there is no official mechanism to turn off the external calls that are causing your
