Additional context
I followed the instructions for managing namespaces:
-
Created a new namespace:
bao namespace create ns1
However, when I run bao namespace create ns1, I receive the following error:
Error creating namespace: Error making API request.
URL: PUT http://0.0.0.0:8200/v1/sys/namespaces/ns1
Code: 404. Errors:
* 1 error occurred:
* unsupported pathI don't understand why this error occurs, especially since I have logged in as the root user:
$ bao login

Success! You are now authenticated. The token information displayed below is
already stored in the token helper. You do NOT need to run "bao login" again.
Future OpenBao requests will automatically use this token.
