Installing CFEngine in an "ubuntu" Docker container -- Ubuntu Xenial repository misconfiguration on cfengine.com?

[Aleksey Tsalolikhin]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup GitLab CI to test CFE policies, so I'm working on automating the install of CFEngine inside Docker container created by GitLab CI.

First I tried Brian Bennett's https://hub.docker.com/r/bahamat/cfengine/ but it didn't work for me (I'm brand new to Docker, mind you, so maybe I did something wrong but there is a comment there from Chris that it doesn't work on the latest ubuntu).

Then I looked at Eystein's https://github.com/estenberg/cfe-docker#building-the-container-image and added the following commands which run inside the Docker container as root:

#!/bin/sh -xapt-get -qq update# add support for https apt sourcesapt-get -y install apt-transport-https ca-certificatesapt-get -y install wget lsb-release unzip# install latest CFEnginewget -qO- http://cfengine.com/pub/gpg.key | apt-key add -echo "deb http://cfengine.com/pub/apt $(lsb_release -cs) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cfengine-community.listapt-get updateapt-get -y install cfengine-community

That last command dies with an error that looks like repository misconfiguration on the CFEngine side:

Reading package lists...

W: The repository 'http://cfengine.com/pub/apt xenial Release' does not have a Release file.

E: Failed to fetch https://cfengine.com/pub/apt/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages  403  Forbidden

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Reading package lists...

Building dependency tree...

Reading state information...

E: Unable to locate package cfengine-community

So... I had a look at cfengineers.net but they just link to the CFEngine Download page, so I tried this and it worked!

wget https://cfengine-package-repos.s3.amazonaws.com/community_binaries/cfengine-community_3.7.4-1_amd64.deb

dpkg -i cfengine-community_3.7.4-1_amd64.deb

So I'm all set.  :)  But the CFEngine repo is broken?

Best,

Aleksey

Our repositories don't have the knowledge of specific releases, so you
should be able to replace $(lsb_release -cs) with stable and it
should work.

Please find repository instructions here.
