Cannot Deploy bosh-lite: 'bosh deploy' failing constantly

[Og Iwunze]

hey guys,

I'm hoping someone will be able to come to my help here. I've been trying to get an instance of CF v2 (AWS deployment or bosh-lite) deployed without much luck unfortunately.  I decided to focus on bosh-lite before trying out the real bosh deployment on AWS (since my attempts to deploy to AWS has been fruitless).

My problem is that I can't get beyond 'bosh deploy' following the steps given in the online docs. Error:

OSTML0109169:cf-release ogonna$ bosh deploy
Getting deployment properties from director...
Compiling deployment manifest...
Please review all changes carefully

Error 30006: Release version `tango/' doesn't exist

For a more detailed error report, run: bosh task 44 --debug

Then I modified cf-manifest.yml and specified a version 146.1-dev (as seen in bosh status command)

I'll be very grateful for any helpful suggestions.  Below is further information which may aid troubleshooting and raising this issue as a bug

Did you change cf-manifest.yml to edit "cf" to "tango"?

releases:

- name: tango

  version: 146.1-dev

What does "bosh releases" say you have? I think it should be "cf".

Change tango -> cf and "bosh deploy" again.

Thanks for your quick response Dr Nic.

Yes, I modified cf-manifest.yml.

OSTML0109169:cf-release ogonna$ grep release ../manifests/cf-manifest.yml  -A3

releases:
- name: tango
  version: 146.1-dev

I've tried setting 'release' in cf-manifest to 'cf' and running 'bosh deploy' and that failed too.

OSTML0109169:cf-release ogonna$ bosh deploy

Release 'cf' not found on director. Unable to resolve 'latest' alias in manifest.

[Dr Nic Williams]

Can you clone cf-release and within it, run "bosh upload release releases/cf-146.yml"?

If you haven't uploaded the "cf" release then it's going to get annoyed at you :)

No idea why it gave you an exception instead of "No releases".

Thanks Dr Nic

This might just be the missing piece of the puzzle.  One thing I noticed after running 'bosh upload release releases/cf-146.yml' as advised is that 'release_versions' table got populated.

BEFORE
bosh=# select * from release_versions;           
 id | version | release_id | commit_hash | uncommitted_changes
----+---------+------------+-------------+---------------------
(0 rows)

AFTER
bosh=# select * from release_versions;
 id | version | release_id | commit_hash | uncommitted_changes
----+---------+------------+-------------+---------------------
  3 | 146     |          3 | 7a236fee    | t
(1 row)

Now I will run 'bosh deploy' with fingers crossed.  Will report back on the outcome shortly.

May I humbly ask that the online documentation is updated with the 'bosh upload release releases/cf-146.yml' step please? I wouldn't have been able to figure that one out.

Many thanks

Ogonna

Perhaps can you put in a PR for the doc change? To teach is to learn twice :)
