Xen Orchestra - Community Edition - Installing with Yarn

@momurda said in Xen Orchestra - Community Edition - Installing with Yarn:

It is the official server iso from ubuntu. I also redownloaded this same iso from ubuntu.com and there is also no redis-server. Nowhere does your guide say to install prerequisites or add repositories to install. It says 'install ubuntu server and use this one line installer'. I did that and it fails 100% of the time. redis-server isnt on the ubuntu server iso repo by default.

But you've stated redis isn't included in the ISO you've used, normally you don't have to go and troubleshoot anything as the main Ubuntu and Debian distro's just work. (Debian does require some additional setup but that's adding sudo and curl).

Otherwise nothing is required. I'm testing with the ISO you've provided.

Even if not included, apt-get should go and find it.

Fixed by ditching ubuntu, my SOP today with ubuntu based installers and setups.
First try on debian, works with one warning about optional fsevents component.
This component only seems to be for osx so not sure why it is being triggered here during the install.

Very odd since most of the testing is Ubuntu.

This happens with Ubuntu, too. Not sure what it's supposed to do, but none of the installs I've done ever have it.

@momurda for what it's worth with the ISO you provided I'm seeing the same error messages.

The ISO is missing the minimal requirements to make the install work.

bnrstnr

@dustinb3403 The new 18.04.1 live-server ISO even directly from the ubuntu site doesn't include the universe repos anymore. I was in the process of posting an issue in your github but got distracted.

DustinB3403

@bnrstnr It's likely the same ISO just hosted from multiple sources. I'll have to see what repo's are missing.

bnrstnr

@dustinb3403 here is all that's in the new version sources.list

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main

momurda

Yes it is something Canonical has done to their server iso. Cant even install glances at the moment with it due to missing the software repos. Just doesnt make much sense why they would do that.

bnrstnr

@momurda It's super weird, I tried looking around a little this morning and couldn't find any explanation. The mini.iso choosing basic server even includes the usual repos. I'm assuming somebody messed up somewhere. There aren't even comments in the sources.list file anymore, which I've definitely never seen before.

Yeah. . that is definitely a Ubuntu Fup there. . . unless they are pulling something fishy.

The new Ubuntu installer is meant to be lean and fast install.
It should work like it use to be using the alternate installer.

DustinB3403

Someone else has already reported this as an issue, the LIVE distro is slimmed down so much that it doesn't have these repo's included, but you can install them.

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2397273

Edit: Adding the multiverse repo with sudo add-apt-repository multiverse allows the install to work without issue.

DustinB3403

I'm testing now with a possible patch for this, even though this is insane that Canonical would remove the multiverse repo from their mainline distro. . .

FFS.

DustinB3403

I've added a repo addition to the start of the script, literally it just adds the multiverse repository and updates and upgrades the system while it's at it.

Of course this could cause issues with other issues so please test it with multiple distro's for me. If it causes issues, I'll simply add it as a troubleshooting step to make sure that the repo's are manually added prior to attempting the installation . . .

DustinB3403

I've even made an issue on my own GH to find better ways of checking for and adding the repo if it's required.

https://github.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/issues/25

Danp

@dustinb3403 See the first answer here for how to check for the pre-existence of the repository.

DustinB3403

Ok I have a patch made besides that really ugly one that will check for the multiverse repo and add it, please test it on other distro's and let me know of any issues.

https://github.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/pull/26

For now I'm going to back out the previous changes since this is a better approach.

Edit: It might fail if multiverse is already there. . . need to confirm more. But for now, going home to see my daughter!

DustinB3403

Can others test this patch for me and let me know what issues you might encounter. I get the expected results here, but I've only been able to test with the mini 18.04.1-live Ubuntu iso so far.
