puppetserver packages for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat

[fhchstr]

Use Case

I can't find puppetserver packages for Ubuntu 24.04 on apt.puppet.com.

https://apt.puppet.com/pool/noble/index.html only contains the puppet-agent package.

#9332 was closed, but puppetserver packages are still missing from apt.puppet.com.

Thank you!

Describe the Solution You Would Like

I would like to install puppetserver 7 on Ubuntu 24.04.

The Ubuntu repositories from Canonical bundle puppetserver 8, but I would like puppetserver 7.

Even if I would need to install puppetserver 8, I would like to install it from your repos, and not the Ubuntu ones since IIUC, some things are different, like /etc/puppet/ vs /etc/puppetlabs/.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

N/A

Additional Context

• Ubuntu 24.04 packages #9332
• Please make the packaging/build pipelines public and provide reproducible builds #9305
• (PA-6031) add 7.x ubuntu 24.04 amd64 platform puppet-agent#2514

While there, quick question, https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/platform_lifecycle.html tells that puppet version 7.34.0 and puppet server version 7.17.3 will be EOL in February 2025. What will be EOL, these specific versions, or puppet7 as a whole?

Hi @fhchstr we don't have plans on adding Ubuntu 24.04 support for puppetserver in puppet7, because the entire puppet7 stream will be EOL in February 2025, see https://groups.google.com/g/puppet-announce/c/xEpwUSJ_hoY/m/asFO9hPmAQAJ

Understood, thank you. I will use puppet8 then.

The puppetserver package version 8 is also missing from apt.puppet.com. The puppet-agent package is there, but not puppetserver. See https://apt.puppet.com/pool/noble/puppet8/p/index.html

Is that on purpose? I know that puppetserver is also available on the Ubuntu 24.04 repositories, but the only version available is 8.4.0-1 (see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/amd64/puppetserver). I would like to use your repositories to ensure I have access to the newer versions.

What apt repository am I supposed to use?

Thank you!
