Hi, I am not able to get this to install on Ubuntu 20.04 Below error:

@7php - Varnish doesn't yet have a published package for Focal Fossa: https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish64

It looks like there's an older Varnish version available in Focal's main apt repo: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+package/varnish (6.2), but I would rather just wait for the packaging system to update with focal support.

[wkhayrattee]

yes it seems the 6.2 is among the package that has a serious bug. (ref: https://varnish-cache.org/security/VSV00005.html#vsv00005) Hence wanted to get the latest 6.4

Do you think it would take long before 6.4 lands for ubuntu 20.04?

[geerlingguy]

@7php - I think we can leave this open for now. I added an upstream issue to see if we can get focal supported on packagecloud: https://github.com/varnishcache/pkg-varnish-cache/issues/139

[wkhayrattee]

ok perfect, thank you very much @geerlingguy

It looks like the code to build the Focal package was merged, but a package for Focal still doesn't exist—yet.

[wkhayrattee]

indeed.. I have asked them when we can expect that to happen.. let's see

May I ask if there are any news on this?

[geerlingguy]

It looks like there's a 'weekly' build now: https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish-weekly — but none in a versioned release :-/

Can we use the existing variables to point to the varnishcache / varnish-weekly / ubuntu / focal / varnish-dev_20200803-weekly~focal-1_amd64.deb?

Thank you, R

As a temporary workaround you can override the varnish_packagecloud_repo variable in the role:

tasks:
- include_role:
    name: "geerlingguy.varnish"
  vars:
    varnish_packagecloud_repo: "varnish-weekly"

Will there be a stable release soon here https://packagecloud.io/varnishcache/varnish64, not the weekly release?

The weekly release is fine for our testing environments ... but for production we will need a stable version. Thx
