Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) doesn't supported by https://packagecloud.io

[assapir]

When trying to run the role on Ubuntu 20.04, there is an error:

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "dest": "/tmp/rabbitmq-server_3.6.11-1_all.deb", "elapsed": 0, "msg": "Request failed", "response": "HTTP Error 404: Not Found", "status_code": 404, "url": "https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/packages/ubuntu/focal/rabbitmq-server_3.6.11-1_all.deb/download"}

From looking on https://packagecloud.io it doesn't seem like it support focal

Hey, I just had this issue with debian buster. It seems that the rabbitmq 3.6.11 is not host anymore by packagecloud. I manage to fix this by setting the rabbitmq_version at "3.7.18".

Same, tried on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS and same on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

TASK [geerlingguy.rabbitmq : Download RabbitMQ package.] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "dest": "/tmp/rabbitmq-server_3.6.11-1_all.deb", "msg": "Request failed", "response": "HTTP Error 404: Not Found", "state": "absent", "status_code": 404, "url": "https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/packages/ubuntu/bionic/rabbitmq-server_3.6.11-1_all.deb/download"}

Can't it check for latest version out of the box, I would like to avoid binding specific version in my playbook unless it is specifically needed per requirements.

So yeah, thats what I did (workaround) Checked page for deb package versions here: https://packagecloud.io/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server

binded version in playbook vars

# cat main.yml
- hosts: all
  vars:
    rabbitmq_version: "3.8.14"
  roles:
    - geerlingguy.rabbitmq

Though it gives an error, it doesn't start the service

cat /var/log/rabbitmq/startup_err
Configuring logger redirection
Error: This RabbitMQ version cannot run on Erlang 22.2.7 (erts 10.6.4): minimum required version is 22.3 (erts 10.7)

When apt says out of the box I have the latest version available to me

# apt install erlang
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
erlang is already the newest version (1:22.2.7+dfsg-1).

Back to drawing board, okay so now I tried looking at packages available for focal ubuntu version https://packagecloud.io/app/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/search?q=rabbitmq&filter=all&filter=all&dist=focal

So for now works out of the box with version

rabbitmq_version: "3.8.14"

as v3.8.13 needs newer version or erlang which is not in ubuntu focal yet https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/tag/v3.8.13 This release requires Erlang 22.3 or

Unless you want to go with latest versions You can do this first

apt update
apt install gpg2 -yq
wget -O- https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu/erlang_solutions.asc | sudo apt-key add -
apt update
apt install erlang -yq

and then proceed with installing rabbitmq
