Error: Failed to query available provider packages

Terraform
1

I am new to terraform although I did get it running about a year ago.

I am trying again now but I am having problems at the 1st step. terraform init on a brand new project (the terraform-docker-demo project from the Install Terraform | Terraform | HashiCorp Developer instructions)

It could be some old config somewhere but I did delete my /usr/local/bin/terraform folder and reinstall the latest version so it should be quite clean.

Here is my trace log…
