Auth fails with HTTP error 503

[dakhnod]

Whenever I attempt to log in, I get the following error:

2026-09-11 16:40:36,595 - INFO - Authentication request initialization

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 503 Server Error: Service Temporarily Unavailable for url: https://gsa.apple.com/grandslam/GsService2

Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

我也遇到同样的问题，测试了本地nas 和云服务器 今天登录 都是提示503，通过curl -k https://gsa.apple.com/grandslam/GsService2 -v 提示的401 Authorization Required

Okay, I figured it out (for now):

1. git clone git@github.com:Dadoum/anisette-v3-server.git
2. cd anisette-v3-server
3. docker build -t anisette .
4. Launch as per instruction:

docker run -d --restart always --name anisette -p 6969:6969 --volume anisette-v3_data:/home/Alcoholic/.config/anisette-v3 --network mh-network anisette

5. In another terminal: git clone git@github.com:dchristl/macless-haystack.git
6. cd macless-haystack
7. sed 's/com.apple.dt.Xcode\/3594.4.19/com.apple.akd\/1.0/g' endpoint/register/pypush_gsa_icloud.py
8. docker build -t haystack .

docker run -it --restart unless-stopped --name macless-haystack -p 6176:6176 --volume mh_data:/app/endpoint/data --network mh-network haystack

10. this will ask for credentials
11. for the first 2FA attempt, I received a call. I waited 60 seconds and pressed enter again
12. I received a 2FA SMS
13. I entered the code and received an error 401
14. re-ran step 9.
15. entered cretentials and the SMS code from the first attempt
16. Success!
17. ???
18. Profit

Strange, I didn't upgrade my containers in eons (docker ps says they are 6 months old) and I still get the reports

(but then that could be because I'm already authenticated?)

[dakhnod]

@olivluca yep, creating auth.json once is sufficient.
