Puppet on Ubuntu Focal

[Arpit sharma]

I am having trouble using puppet(open-source)  on Ubuntu Focal( as Focal ships with ruby 2.7) mostly related to this issue

https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-10247

When can we expect to have a stable version for Focal?

[Martin Alfke]

Are you using system ruby, installing puppet as a Ruby gem?
No need to do this.
Puppet Agent ships required ruby version.
Just add the repo (http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet6-release-focal.deb) and then install puppet-agent package.

hth,
Martin

Actually I am using puppet as a standalone.

I ran 

wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet6-release-focal.deb

dpkg -i puppet6-release-focal.deb 

apt update

then when I ran 

apt install puppet-agent

This was the error

Package puppet-agent is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package 'puppet-agent' has no installation candidate

and when I ran 

apt install puppet it again installed

puppet -V

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util.rb:461: warning: URI.escape is obsolete

5.5.10

Few questions

What is the difference between puppet and puppet-agent

What is the difference between puppet in apt universe and the puppet installed after adding the given repo.

This is the same as my experience on Friday - the release file is there but the packages are not yet available.

The 'bionic' release and binaries work perfectly well though if it gets you past this step...

Hi,

Focal support will be added in the next puppet release (6.15.0). You can still use the nightly builds in the meantime: http://nightlies.puppet.com/apt/

Thanks,

Gabriel

Thanks for the update Gabriel, appreciated. Do you know when v6.15.0 is expected to be release, even approximately?

Hopefully tomorrow     ( : 

We're double checking things now for the release and unless we find a blocker that's when it will go out.

FWIW, that will be for the agent, we haven't made a decision if it will be a supported master platform yet.

In general we try to have agents available for the next FOSS release after an OS update comes out (~1 month), though some systems require more work than others. After we get agent support we evaluate master support but that's more of a business decision that depends on user demand.

HTH,

Justin

Thank you Justin, looking forward to that release tomorrow if there's no blockers. Please put us down as "very interested" when the Puppet Server / Master binaries would be available too - we currently have 2 data centers lined up for rollout on this platform+OS combo, and another in the planning stage.
