pshima / consul-snapshot

consul-snapshot is a backup and restore utility for Consul (https://www.consul.io). This is slightly different than some other utilities out there as this runs as a daemon for backups and ships them to S3. Also has integrated monitoring and backup health checks.

Install no longer working on Ubuntu 16.04 #22

Closed snoremac closed 7 years ago

Hi,

Commit https://github.com/pshima/consul-snapshot/commit/5a01c07c214e6d031eb4352096222ba3f7cbd98d seems to introduce a change that depends on Go 1.7, which rules out vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Is that deliberate? Is hunting down a golang 1.7 PPA the only option now?

thanks,

Cam

Can you share with me the error you are getting?

snoremac commented 7 years ago

Sorry my bad.

package context: unrecognized import path "context" (import path does not begin with hostname)

Ok thanks I will try and repro this afternoon.

Can you give it another try?

Snagged the 16.04 container, apt-get install golang-go git and then your above with success.

Added travis builds for 1.6 and 1.7 which are still failing but suspect that is something in my make file that I need to fix.

pshima commented 7 years ago

So the bad news is that consul requires 1.8 which is required by consul-snapshot and it is the consul pull that is failing.

Honest question though - why is the reason for building instead of using one of the pre built binaries?

snoremac commented 7 years ago

Yeah fair question. We've had some ansible automation that's been installing it this way for a while, that's all.

So I guess we'll change our playbook to use the binary install method.

Thanks.
