Installing Kibana in a container using Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS image has a "adduser" dependency in kibana.postinst script #182537

Closed indeed-ted closed 1 month ago

indeed-ted commented 3 months ago

Kibana version: 8.13.2-amd64.deb

Elasticsearch version: N/A

Server OS version: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Browser version: N/A

Browser OS version: N/A

Original install method (e.g. download page, yum, from source, etc.): apt in Dockerfile using "apt install -y ./elasticsearch-8.13.2-amd64.deb"

Describe the bug: When using these lines to install kibana inside a Docker container:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget
RUN wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-8.13.2-amd64.deb
RUN apt install -y ./kibana-8.13.2-amd64.deb

It throws this error:

RUN apt install -y ./kibana-8.13.2-amd64.deb

------

Where the exact error is: "/var/lib/dpkg/info/kibana.postinst: 36: addgroup: not found"

Looking into the kibana.postinst script, it relies on "addgroup" command, which does not exist in Ubuntu any more. However, I was installing ElasticSearch using these 3 lines, I noticed it auto installed "addgroup" so it didn't have this issue (see output below the 3 lines).

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget
RUN wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-8.13.2-amd64.deb
RUN apt install -y ./elasticsearch-8.13.2-amd64.deb
RUN apt install -y ./elasticsearch-8.13.2-amd64.deb

#10 1.370 The following NEW packages will be installed:
#10 1.372   adduser elasticsearch

So whatever forces the dependency of elasticsearch to addgroup should be configured for kibana apt installs as well.

Note: The temporarily fix is to do run this before the Kibana install:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y adduser

Which installs adduser and fixes it. (Please note this is not addgroup, but it works)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a Dockerfile with 3 lines above for Kibana installation
  2. Execute: "docker build --progress=plain --no-cache --tag 'agghost-kibana-dockerfile' ."
  3. See output with Kibana failing because of missing addgroup

Expected behavior: Kibana should install properly on Ubuntu v20.04.6

Screenshots (if relevant):

Errors in browser console (if relevant):

Provide logs and/or server output (if relevant):

Any additional context: Note: The temporarily fix is to do run this before the Kibana install:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y adduser

Which installs adduser and fixes it. (Please note this is not addgroup, but it works)
