Building Cloudstack DEB packages for Ubuntu #12177

What is the current recommended way to build cloudstack .deb packages on Ubuntu? I need to test a PR (#11932) and a suggestion in there used a container for building, but its using Ubuntu 20.04 which is EOL and generates packages with lenny in the name. I have no idea if these will work overriding the Cloudstack 4.22.0 packages or if that is a horrible idea.

The cloudstack official docs seem to reference Ubuntu 18.04, and that's likewise a nonstarter.

I tried with Ubuntu 24.04 basically following the same docs, but then hit roadblock with the build appearing to require Python 2.7 (which is of course EOL).

The docs don't really state what openjdk version to use, but I looked at my production servers and it appears openjdk 17 was installed.

So I'm falling back to a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 install for building since python 2.7 is available there. I'm guessing its only a build-time dependency and not runtime.

So this is what I have so far ...

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo bash - && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install build-essential git devscripts debhelper openjdk-17-jdk libws-commons-util-java genisoimage libcommons-codec-java libcommons-httpclient-java liblog4j1.2-java maven nodejs python3-mysql.connector python2 python-setuptools jq && \
git clone -b 4.22.0.0 https://github.com/apache/cloudstack && \
wget https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/apache/cloudstack/pull/11932.patch && \
cd cloudstack && \
git config user.email "someone@example.com" && \
git am < ../11932.patch && \
mvn -P deps -DskipTests -T `nproc` && \
cd packaging && \
./build-deb.sh

And its failing in the build-deb.sh with:

[ERROR] Tests run: 101, Failures: 0, Errors: 101, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.231 s <<< FAILURE! - in com.cloud.utils.net.NetUtilsTest

It appears as if your JDK does not supply a working agent attachment mechanism.

I'm assuming I'm missing another step somewhere.

it is a nodejs issue
try with NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider (I updated the command)

mvn -P deps -DskipTests -T nproc && \

this step is not needed

./build-deb.sh

you can use skip the tests by

NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider ACS_BUILD_OPTS="-DskipTests" ./build-deb.sh

Thanks, I'll test that. Is it correct that python2 is really required? Does my dependency list look ok? (Especially nodejs and java)?

Do I need to lower the default openssl security level in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf or is this possibly because of the newer nodejs I'm using?

Ok that appeared to build some packages. That said, it does have a ~jammy suffix on the .debs. Is that installable on 24.04 (noble)?

dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-docs' in '../cloudstack-docs_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-common' in '../cloudstack-common_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-integration-tests' in '../cloudstack-integration-tests_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-marvin' in '../cloudstack-marvin_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-ui' in '../cloudstack-ui_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-usage' in '../cloudstack-usage_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-agent' in '../cloudstack-agent_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.
dpkg-deb: building package 'cloudstack-management' in '../cloudstack-management_4.22.0.0~jammy_all.deb'.

FYI, my full build command was:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo bash - && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git devscripts debhelper openjdk-17-jdk libws-commons-util-java genisoimage libcommons-codec-java libcommons-httpclient-java liblog4j1.2-java maven nodejs python3-mysql.connector python2 python-setuptools jq && \
