Switch runners to Ubuntu 24.04, use vagrant from hashicorp #57
Conversation
This switches the default OS for CI jobs from ubuntu-latest (currently 22.04) to 24.04. Except for the beaker jobs, they still run with 20.04 becauser newer systems don't support EL7. We will change that later.
Update acceptance tests to run on 24.04
|
This is a continuation of #56, but with the acceptance tests running on ubuntu 24.04 not just the matrix setup |
|
@bastelfreak can I get a merge when you are ready :) |

changed the title

@evgeni Is the BSL a concern to you and should we use your PPA instead? |
|
I would prefer using a free Vagrant version, at least as long as we can, yes. |
|
@bastelfreak I feel we shouldn't accept BSL. I started a beaker-virt-lightning to use https://virt-lightning.org but it's too early to say if that'll work as a replacement |
|
https://launchpad.net/~evgeni/+archive/ubuntu/vagrant/ exists, so as long as Vagrant is in Debian, I can produce Ubuntu builds without too much pain. |
|
I want to point that a long long time ago, around a decade ago, Vox Pupuli, named puppet-community back then, had a dedicated server in colocation and was running beaker jobs for the communtiy and Puppetlabs Inc, via https://github.com/nibalizer/beaker-libvirt. Maybe it's time to revisit the plugin? When we want to speak to libvirt to start actual VMs, we don't need any abstraction between beaker and libvirt like Vagrant. |
|
That's right. But having pre-built images that all behave somewhat identical and can be fetched from a sorta central index is a huge benefit. |
|
What is the easiest path forward here to unblock work? Do we want to try to migrate to one of those other tools, do we want to use that RPM for now? |
|
As a start, can you cherry-pick the Ubuntu 24.04 adjustments and provide them as a dedicated PR? |
|
Done! #59 |
|
But wont that have issues because 24 doesnt have vagrant included as a package! So v3 will be broken. |
|
@daberkow could you rebase and update the branch to configure the PPA from https://launchpad.net/~evgeni/+archive/ubuntu/vagrant/ ? |
This is to help get voxpupuli/puppet-selinux#390 working. Selinux is low level enough we need vagrant with libvirt, but to test with AlmaLinux we need a newer version of Vagrant. AlmaLinux uses box v2 standard for vagrant thus requiring newer builds. We MAY be able to backport to 20.04 with some work if that is the preferred path. I also saw better perf, and less random build failures with 24.04 than I was on 20.04 vagrant.
