Ubuntu 16.04 support #95

Closed heiderich closed 3 years ago

heiderich commented 4 years ago

In ff012c5bd853790073697e86f70859edfd9215e5 support for Ubuntu 16.04 was removed. The commit message says "It's been EOL since April 25th 2019". Where does this date come from? According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

the End of Life of Ubuntu 16.04 is April 2024, while
the End of Standard Support for Ubuntu 14.04 was April 2019.

Are there actual incompatibilities with Ubuntu 16.04?

Hi,

That date in the commit message is incorrect. At the time of that commit if you Googled for "Ubuntu 16.04 end of life" the top result mentioned April 25th 2019 but it wasn't even in reference to Ubuntu 16.04.

The part that might give you trouble with Ubuntu 16.04 is apt installing virtualenv.

I also just noticed https://github.com/nickjj/ansible-docker/pull/75.

Just doing some house keeping of issues / PRs and I'm closing this one.

Mainly because 16.04 is going to be end of EOL in April 2021. There's extended maintenance until 2024 but that's a premium offering from Ubuntu. I can't afford to maintain a distro beyond its normal EOL schedule.

Plus Docker Compose only supports Python 3.6+ at the moment and Ubuntu 16.04 has Python 3.5 by default which means it'll be quite some effort to get everything set up on Ubuntu 16.04.
