Hi @tall-needle-56640, Is it the pulumi access token that you are prompted for? Can you share the actual error?

> pulumi login <https://pulumistatepoc.blob.core.windows.net/>
Manage your Pulumi stacks by logging in.
Run `pulumi login --help` for alternative login options.
Enter your access token:

I don't know anything about using a Pulumi access token in a self-managed system.

@tall-needle-56640 it's in this page: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/state/

yeah, those instructions are confusing, since it didn't explain the format of the bucket. Is this right?

pulumi login --cloud-url <azblob://https://pulumistatepoc.blob.core.windows.net/>

i don't know what your bucket is called, but you don't need the https

My bucket (known in Azure as a container) is named

state

. So it really only wanted the bucket/container name

pulumi login <azblob://state>

and not the URL with the bucket. Which is strange to me because I don't see the

endpointSuffix

defined (i.e. "core.windows.net") which is needed if targeting Azure Stack (or a separate Azure cloud, like for government and education).

you can override the endpointsuffix by setting the env

AZURE_STORAGE_DOMAIN

https://github.com/google/go-cloud/blob/master/blob/azureblob/azureblob.go#L30 it's admittedly not well documented

OK. Cool. Follow-up question: If I try to create a

dev

stack for two different projects (still with Azure Storage), I get an error

error: stack 'dev' already exists

But I can create stacks with the same names when using the Pulumi backend, right? Is this a bug?

we don't namespace them the same, so you generally need to do

project.dev

and then

project.prod

Shouldn't they be namespaced the same? Why wouldn't they be namespaced the same?

there's quite a lot of reasons, which can be summarized here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/4605 but the short version is that the oss backends don't support an organization/project/stack mechanism. the overriding feature request for this is here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2814
