Ruby 2.0 is unmaintained - also cannot install on Ubuntu LTS

mhart commented 8 years ago

The specific requirement for "ruby2.0" means that CodeDeploy cannot be installed on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Considering that maintenance for Ruby 2.0 ended in February 2016, CodeDeploy is now relying on an unmaintained version. It was advised well over a year ago to move all Ruby 2.0 projects to a newer version.

This also means that the CodeDeploy install instructions no longer work for Ubuntu as they say they should.

How should users who are on Ubuntu LTS install the CodeDeploy agent?

Is CodeDeploy still going to be maintained going forward? (Ruby 2.0 is over three years old now!)

mhart commented 8 years ago

Btw, I've tried manually compiling Ruby 2.0, using rvm, all to no avail – the CodeDeploy agent install script insists on a "ruby2.0" package being available and will not accept the manually installed version

Raniz85 commented 8 years ago

You can work around this by installing Ruby 2.0 from the Brightbox Ruby NG PPA

Right now they don't have a PPA for 16.04 so you'll have to add the PPA for 15.10 but that ruby package currently installs without issue on 16.04.

mhart commented 8 years ago

@Raniz85 great, thanks for the instructions on how to do this – these should definitely be added to the official documentation

I was using brightbox earlier on 15.10, but had issues adding the repo on 16.04 – glad it works by adding it manually

In any case, if AWS have any investment in CodeDeploy going forward they should definitely move off ruby2.0. I'd really like to see an official comment on this.

+1 :) My workaround for this was to create an fake package named ruby2.0 which only includes a symoblic link to the current ruby. Works like a charm and no need to have another ruby environment.

tsloughter commented 8 years ago

Is it the case that it actually works fine on ruby 2.3? There is a PR that has been open for 11 days that simply changes what version the agent checks for: https://github.com/aws/aws-codedeploy-agent/pull/62

feverLu commented 8 years ago

We are actually actively working on relaxing the hard dependency on ruby2.0 now. Next release of the host agent should work with ruby versions >= 2.0

dgolja commented 8 years ago

I couldn't find any technical reason why this agent shouldn't work on ruby 2.3, except for the hardcoded version in the scripts :)

bdashrad commented 8 years ago

The commit cfbebaf by @feverLu last night fixes the installer, but not the deb package that it downloads. We're partway there.

bdashrad commented 8 years ago

I forked this and am now building a deb package with fpm for our use until the official version supports ruby > 2.0.

https://github.com/bdashrad/aws-codedeploy-agent

It runs on xenial fine, the only actual change to the code is changing #!/usr/bin/ruby2.0 to #!/usr/bin/ruby in bin/codedeploy-agent.

https://github.com/bdashrad/aws-codedeploy-agent/commit/e95f63cf2d927169f65ef90f514620445286ca51

timurb commented 8 years ago

On Redhat/CentOS you just read the banner which is displayed on installation failure and do something like sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby2.0 before installing the package.

This worked for me perfectly. I've used:

CentOS 7
self-built Ruby 2.2 (installed somewhere to /opt)
CodeDeploy RPM package from aws-codedeploy-us-east-1 S3 bucket

dgolja commented 8 years ago

@timurb this won't work on ubuntu since the deb package requires ruby2.0 to be installed.

timurb commented 8 years ago

@n1tr0g is that really dependency or simple checking for /usr/bin/ruby2.0 done in postinst script?

in CentOS that's postinst script

dgolja commented 8 years ago

@timurb it's a package dependency in Ubuntu ....

runningman84 commented 8 years ago

Any news here?

tsloughter commented 8 years ago

Yea, it has been a month since the last update. Is there any news on when the latest ubuntu lts will be supported and the unmaintained version of ruby will not longer be required?

stevenjack commented 8 years ago

Had a nice few hours messing around with this, ended up using @Raniz85 solution..

Might have been worth thinking about writing the agent in something a bit more portable like go..

emirb commented 8 years ago

After Ruby 2.0 installation, codedeploy agent still can't be installed on Debian 8 (Jessie).

Installing a fake version of the ruby2.0 package allows the codedeploy agent to be installed on Debian 8:

abh1nav commented 8 years ago

@feverLu any updates here? CodeDeploy Agent installs are still failing on 16.04 instances because of the hard requirement on ruby2.0.

mhart commented 8 years ago

@arojeff oh ok, so they have a PPA for 16.04 now? That must have changed recently: https://github.com/aws/aws-codedeploy-agent/issues/61#issuecomment-218378401

arojeff commented 8 years ago

@mhart - Yes, that worked for me!

ghost commented 8 years ago

Kinda stunned that here it is September and AWS still hasn't fixed this and we have to work around it. C'mon Amazon get your shit in gear.

ambareesha commented 8 years ago

Folks, we are working on fixing the Ruby 2.0 dependency issue. We released agent version 1.0.1.1011 which was the first step to fixing the problem, but we had to roll it back due to some issues we discovered. We are trying to address the issues and test the agent thoroughly before the next release, which should roll out in a couple of weeks.

TheBenMay commented 8 years ago

@arojeff This has worked for the Ubuntu 16.04 Marketplace AMI and the new AMI in the quick launch. I still much rather have a supported version of Ruby though. @ambareesha Please keep us up to date.

klatu201 commented 8 years ago

Come on AWS, fix this.... I had this issue with the vanilla vagrant ubuntu box - hashicorp/precise64

Workaround: sudo apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brightbox/ruby-ng-experimental sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ruby2.0

apenney commented 8 years ago

@ambareesha How many more weeks is this likely to take? No offense, but this is pretty awful.

ambareesha commented 8 years ago

@apenney, we are in the process of rolling out the first set of changes this week (a couple of big regions done and some more to go). This set of changes will upgrade the preinstalled agent to using Ruby2.x. Once that goes through, we will release the updated installers. I'm expecting it to be a few more weeks before you can install on Ruby2.x. Thanks for your patience!

In the meantime, have you tried @klatu201's workaround? That should unblock you for the moment.

gtangquri commented 8 years ago

following @klatu201 's workaround and then continuing with AWS' docs works

ambareesha commented 8 years ago

We have released host agent version 1.1037 which gets us halfway through the Ruby2.x migration process. The current agent invokes the latest version of ruby installed on the system.

Next steps: Update the ruby dependency in the rpm and deb installers. The install script will also be updated. We are actively working on rolling out these changes.

whtevn commented 7 years ago

in the meantime, is there any way to just give us a flag that will run the right interpreter. I have RVM installed with ruby 2.0 available. If I could just point this script at that, I would not need to make a dummy ruby 2.0 package on my production machine just to install this logging agent.

It's also worth noting that ubuntu 16.04 is now the free tier eligible ubuntu image, as opposed to a short time ago when it was 14.04

octaviandavid commented 7 years ago

ambareesha commented 7 years ago

Thank you all for your patience. We released the host agent version 1.1045 a couple of weeks ago which works with ruby2.3 on Ubuntu 16. We hope this resolves your issue. Please let us know if you still face any problems.

mhart commented 7 years ago

Confirmed that the steps outlined in the docs now work for Ubuntu 16.04 (in us-east-1, on ami-40d28157): http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/how-to-run-agent-install.html#how-to-run-agent-install-ubuntu

The description of the messages from service isn't correct though. After install, the message looks like this:

$ sudo service codedeploy-agent status
● codedeploy-agent.service - LSB: AWS CodeDeploy Host Agent
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/codedeploy-agent; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

Then after sudo service codedeploy-agent start, the message looks like this:

$ sudo service codedeploy-agent status
● codedeploy-agent.service - LSB: AWS CodeDeploy Host Agent
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/codedeploy-agent; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

Anyway, closing this for now – if others have problems getting this running, probably best to open separate issues – the main concern has been addressed. Thanks all!

martinb3 commented 7 years ago

It seems that the documentation still states 16.04 isn't supported; it would be good to update that as well, if someone can: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/host-cleanup.html#how-to-run-agent-supported-oses
