Cloudron on 18.04.5 - GLIBC_2.28 not found (required by node)

[BrutalBirdie]

Looks like Ubuntu 18.04.05 is the issue.
Attempting upgrade to 20.04 to fix the Issue.

Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 solved the Issue.

Yes this is the reason why we stopped supporting Ubuntu 18

@nebulon happend on a server with Cloudron version v7.4.2 tho

Can you check node --version ? I think this is supposed to happen only with node 18 (which is in Cloudron 7.5.0)

I am facing the same Problem.
Do I have to be careful with something, when upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04?
I'm told at the ssh-login not to upgrade the System via console. Thats why I'm asking.

@Cetheus We have a guide at https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-20/ to upgrade ubuntu. It's fine to upgrade all packages (for ubuntu 18 to 20).

[RazielKanos]

just be careful about to boot partition, that fucked up my update from 18 to 20 and i had to reinstall everything, make sure you have backups for your cloudron stuff!

[Cetheus]

@RazielKanos Thanks for the warning.
I'm running a Mastodon Instance.
Then I will take a look how to back it up via command line.

[Cetheus]

Thanks for all your help.
The Server is up and running again

Also for others to come here, to get back up on Ubuntu 18.04 run the following commands via SSH:

mkdir -p /usr/local/node-16.18.1
curl -sL https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.18.1/node-v16.18.1-linux-x64.tar.gz -o /tmp/node.tar.gz
tar zxvf /tmp/node.tar.gz --strip-components=1 -C /usr/local/node-16.18.1
rm /tmp/node.tar.gz
ln -sf /usr/local/node-16.18.1/bin/node /usr/bin/node
ln -sf /usr/local/node-16.18.1/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm
systemctl restart box

Then the system should be working again, however for the 7.5 update ubuntu has to be upgraded first.
