Install Cloudron, it failed due Collectd not in repo....

[ApplegateR]

and librrd4 is also not in repo...

@ApplegateR I guess you are on trying on Ubuntu 22.04 ? Please install on Ubuntu 20.04.

The upstream issue is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/collectd/+bug/1971093 . In fact, I just left a comment there 30 mins ago

@ApplegateR Would be nice warning pop up in final say "oops sorry this Operation system not supported." something like that

[girish]

@ApplegateR good idea, I will disable Ubuntu 22 in the install script.

@girish FYI I'm still getting the same error on a pure fresh install of Ubuntu - definitely 20.04

@timconsidine yes, I was just trying to reproduce this since it was also reported in https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7091/aws-ubuntu-20-04-installation-issue. Where is your VM located?

[timconsidine]

@girish sorry to say it's SSDNODES : it's a scratch VPS for testing.

I just found this forum post after happily following the documentation: https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-22/ and ran into the problems afterwards.

There is no hint in the documentation about the collectd-missing problem or any suggestion to wait with upgrades to 22.04.

For the moment being I installed collectd and collectd-core manually as was suggested in the referenced launchpad forum. Fingers crossed that this is a stable solution, because
a) after rebooting the machine collectd initially failed collectd.service: Failed with result 'start-limit-hit'., manually restarting it with systemctl worked
b) installing the collectd packages with apt said N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/root/collectd-core_5.12.0-9_amd64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied).

We'll see.

@bernd I had put some notes here - https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-22/#post-upgrade but some people had reported that it is still a problem. So, we are looking into it.

[bernd]

@girish I followed the notes exactly (on this day I updated from Ubuntu 18 to 20 to 22) and I'm impressed how well and smooth everything worked out in general (thanks for the documentation work).

It's just the collectd thing that should be updated at the moment up until there is some feedback from the maintainers.

[girish]

I have edited https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-22/#post-upgrade further that should fix the collectd issue. If you run /home/yellowtent/box/scripts/init-ubuntu.sh, I think collectd should get installed properly.
