Test installation procedure with Ubuntu 20.04
pierrepo opened this issue · comments
When Ubuntu 20.04 will be available on VM images, it would be nice to test the installation procedure on the OS.
It would indeed be interesting to try on the latest 20.04 once it's available.
For now OVH only offers the following:
I've been testing on 19.10 for a while and it seems to be working fine.
Yes. There's no rush. This issue is just a reminder.
It looks like the 20.04 images have started to be available:
After doing a quick test, it appears that cockpit-docker is no longer available on 20.04:

cockpit-docker is being deprecated in favor of cockpit-podman, and will not be maintained upstream. We have stopped building it for Ubuntu ≥ 20.04, Debian ≥ 11, and Fedora >= 32 (i. e. the current development series), but will keep it for the stable releases (i. e. backports).

Cool!

Ouch. cockpit-docker on 18.04 and cockpit-podman on 20.04, not very convenient...
Apart from that the rest seems to be working well.
cockpit-podman doesn't seem to be available on 20.04 either at the moment.

😢 dependency hell
Is it possible to install cockpit-docker only for ubuntu < 20.04 est print a warning message for ubuntu >= 20.04 (until cokpit-podman is available)?
Indeed, we'll need to do something like that to support both.
It sounds like the simplest for now would be to install cockpit-docker from the deb directly, as recommended here:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cockpit/+bug/1875028
- https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cockpit/215-1~ubuntu19.10.1/+build/18889196/+files/cockpit-docker_215-1~ubuntu19.10.1_all.deb
Also cockpit-podman is still not available on Ubuntu 20.04:
$ sudo apt install cockpit-podman
