Stage 6/7 bypass of apps not yet compatible w/ Ubuntu 22.04 (Kolibri, Nextcloud, Moodle, Sugarizer) [ASIDE: Node.js 18.x works manually or using deb.nodesource.com install script] #3189

holta · 2022-04-21T04:20:45Z

This is just an interim shim patch for the coming weeks — especially for newcomers embracing Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish" being released in not so many hours today (2022-04-21) after 2 years!

More advanced IIAB implementers wanting to keep up day-by-day — with the very latest feasibility of (Nextcloud, Kolibri, Moodle, Sugarizer) on Ubuntu 22.04 — should keep an eye on Section 2. of:

https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Platforms

RECAP: Anybody is free to attempt cd /opt/iiab/iiab then sudo ./runrole <role> to later try to install any of these 4 apps/services.

But most important, this PR serves to keep implementers from drowning in confusion when MEDIUM-sized IIAB installs fail to install {Kolibri, Nextcloud, Sugarizer} and LARGE-sized IIAB installs fail to install {Moodle} — all 4 of which aren't yet/quite compatible with Ubuntu 22.04's + Python 3.10 and/or PHP 8.1 and/or MongoDB.

holta · 2022-04-21T05:04:08Z

All looks good, allowing for very decent Day 1 support of IIAB on Ubuntu 22.04 (and especially when Nodesource.com support for Node.js on 22.04 arrives, i.e. when https://deb.nodesource.com/node_18.x/dists/jammy/Release is posted hopefully in the coming 48h !)

Hum... This protects the user when first installing, but does not protect later changes done by admin-console, will run the role anyway as each role is added to a list of roles to run and doesn't use iiab-from-console.yml any longer see iiab/iiab-admin-console#475 (comment)

jvonau · 2022-04-21T09:12:12Z

Should really introduce a hard stop in validate.yml when these roles are set in local_vars.yml and OS support does not exist yet.

tim-moody · 2022-04-21T11:48:50Z

I have a servicesToHide variable that can be exposed to ansible vars, for example to put in the ub22.04 vars file. Actually I'm not sure I read those files except during an ansible run.

holta · 2022-04-21T12:56:23Z

This protects the user when first installing, but does not protect later changes done by admin-console

Yes.

This was done on purpose so implementers who really want to can try again 10/20/30 days later — if they really want to try installing apps/services.

Using either sudo ./runrole <app> or Admin Console.

holta · 2022-04-21T13:04:25Z

Ubuntu 22.04 should be published in the next coming hours.

All of this temporary shim/patch should hopefully go away within a few short weeks or months.

(Though worst case Moodle 4.0.1 still might not support Ubuntu 22.04 in June, waiting for Moodle 4.1 later this year. Regardless they'll make an announcement to clarify very shortly.)

holta · 2022-04-21T13:13:01Z

FYI Sugarizer's support of Ubuntu 22.04 apparently needs a small code change by @llaske ?

Hopefully he can clarify in coming days if adjustments are necessary here ?

(FYI Sugarizer works great with Node.js 18.0!)

Whereas something else seems to be preventing the latest Sugarizer from installing on 22.04...

holta · 2022-04-25T20:52:48Z

ASIDE/FYI: Node.js 18.x was manually installable onto Ubuntu 22.04 starting 5+ days ago, but FYI it might be a few more days until this is officially installable via nodesource.com :

Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) nodesource/distributions#1359 (comment)

BACKGROUND: Node.js is used by Internet Archive, JupyterHub, Node-RED, pbx (Asterix, FreePBX) and Sugarizer — which means that LARGE-sized installs of IIAB Ubuntu 22.04 still need the above manual hack...for a few more days or so.

holta · 2022-04-29T21:03:40Z

ASIDE/FYI: Node.js 18.x was manually installable onto Ubuntu 22.04 starting [about 10 days ago now], but FYI it might be a few more days until this is officially installable via nodesource.com :

Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) nodesource/distributions#1359 (comment)

IIAB should probably not do this, but just FYI one can fully delegate the decision of which LTS version of Node.js to install using this URL...

https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x

Instead of manually specifying which LTS version per usual...

https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x

Background: The latest documentation for Nodesource.com installer scripts (to install Node.js) is upgraded frequently at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#installation-instructions

Yes.

Using either sudo ./runrole <app> or Admin Console.

This 'workaround' has effectively broken the preset functionality other than for the medical one.

Ubuntu 22.04 just isn't yet officially supported by several major packages.

roles/cmdsrv/files/presets/fr-school/vars.yml:nextcloud_install: True
roles/cmdsrv/files/presets/fr-school/vars.yml:nextcloud_enabled: True

The imminent Nextcloud 24 will quite likely work on Ubuntu 22.04 within 24-to-48 hours from now, so let's check back then.

ubuntu@exclusive-limpkin:/opt/iiab/iiab-admin-console$ grep sugar roles/cmdsrv/files/presets/*/vars.yml
roles/cmdsrv/files/presets/en-school/vars.yml:sugarizer_install: True
roles/cmdsrv/files/presets/en-school/vars.yml:sugarizer_enabled: True
roles/cmdsrv/files/presets/es-school/vars.yml:sugarizer_install: True
roles/cmdsrv/files/presets/es-school/vars.yml:sugarizer_enabled: True

Sugarizer will likely not work on Ubuntu 22.04 for many weeks — until MongoDB 6.1 (or some such!) supports 22.04's libssl 3.0:

MongoDB 4.4, 5.0 & 6.0RC1 don't run on Ubuntu 22.04 (preventing Sugarizer install) [missing apt package libssl1.1 -> libssl3 ?] #3190

Related: Node.js 18.x should be officially installable on 22.04 within (about) week, as discussed on: nodesource/distributions#1359

So it's a pretty good bet that the vast majority of these teething issues will resolve themselves within about 10 days (the likely exception being MongoDB?)

(Similar to Nextcloud 24's 2022-05-03 release that will likely appear as a pre-release at any moment later today; i.e. intensive testing of IIAB on Ubuntu 22.04 should begin within about 7-15 days from now, when this OS's teething issues are much more under control.)

jvonau · 2022-05-02T06:18:28Z

When the upstream get their stuff in line most of these issues go away, I'm just pointing out that adm-console does not use these 2 files that are modified with this PR making things extremely fragile within the console until these workarounds goes away.

Maybe something like this in validate might be welcome?

It's an excellent observation that "rapidly changing OS's" [*] could have not-quite-ready IIAB apps/services blocked in various ways, until the OS is more ready for primetime.

[*] Likewise Debian 12 Bookworm (daily build), that is gaining in popularity now despite (the official story!) being that its release is a year away in 2023 (whereupon Debian users will jump to the next thing ;)

Hard-coded blocks within https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/0-init/tasks/validate_vars.yml and/or preferably within individual roles might make some sense in some cases — perhaps when upstream action/resolution appears many months away? This needs some thinking!

(Certainly code that hard-blocks users feels overly harsh and somewhat overly burdensome when just days later implementers may immediately want to run the working ./runrole <app> or use Admin Console to install their app.)

jvonau · 2022-05-02T14:48:47Z

This needs some thinking!

That is why I have brought the issue up, validate can offer an upfront warning very early in the process and is common to all roles before the individual roles are called. Using an action in the roles just delays the warning/error till later in the ansible run, thought silent ignoring incorrect input via local_vars was discouraged. The whole point of validation is preventing errors during the ansible run.

FYI https://github.com/nodesource/distributions#installation-instructions now works to install Node.js 18.x on Ubuntu 22.04 — thanks to the appearance of https://deb.nodesource.com/node_18.x/dists/jammy/Release — results are:
