Error response from daemon: container

After uploading my ED25519 SSH, creating a pod (using the "winglian/axolotl-cloud:main-latest image"), and trying to SSH into it, I immediately get a :
Error response from daemon: container [..id..] is not running
Error response from daemon: container [..id..] is not running


error after successfully authenticating to ssh.runpod.io with the public key. Looking at the pod's system logs, it says the image was created, but it doesn't get beyond starting it and the container log shows a "curl: no URL specified" error:

I'm trying to run an LLM finetune using axolotl
Solution
Quick update, this is due to the template in the tutorial no longer being maintained as the repo for git moved under axolotl.
The working RunPod Template for this is axolotali/axolotl-cloud:main-latest
And currently the axolotlai template is working. I have raised this issue internally with our team and we will get the template in the tutorial updated to point to this as well.
