Ubuntu 24.04 LTS support?

[mika]

Is there any roadmap or ETA available when support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (AKA noble numbat) should be available?

According to https://docs.stackstorm.com/install/system_requirements.html the latest Ubuntu version that is supported is Ubuntu 20.04, which has its end of standard support as of April 2025 though. It would be nice if newer Ubuntu LTS releases like 22.04 and/or 24.04 would be supported.

Thanks! :)

Hi @mika ,

the community is currently working on StackStorm version 3.9.0. StackStorm is based on Python 3.8, which is not available/supported in the newer versions of Ubuntu and Co. Only when the application supports Python 3.10+ newer OS versions will be supported.

Ah ok, that's unfortunate then. :) Thanks for the info!

FTR, Ubuntu focal AKA 20.04 provides python 3.8, Ubuntu jammy AKA 22.04 provides python 3.10, and Ubuntu noble AKA 24.4 provides python 3.12. (And current Debian oldoldstable (buster) provides python 3.7, oldstable (bullseye) provides python 3.9 and Debian stable (bookworm) provides python 3.11, so also bad luck there. :))

There's a pull request to move to python 3.11 and mongodb 7.0.

Oh, great! That sounds like even Debian/stable (bookworm) might be an option then? :) (We managed to install StackStorm on Debian/buster in the past, which worked perfectly fine, though got stuck with v3.3 there because of missing dependencies.)

Hi @Ein-nor and @mika ,

I managed to install StackStorm on Ubuntu 22.04 using Python 3.8 as the default Python and ran a test command:

bash:~$ st2 run core.local -- date -R
.
id: 67986f7ab5637b4fd705db62
action.ref: core.local
context.user: custom_user
parameters:
  cmd: date -R
status: succeeded
start_timestamp: Tue, 28 Jan 2025 05:47:38 UTC
end_timestamp: Tue, 28 Jan 2025 05:47:38 UTC
result:
  failed: false
  return_code: 0
  stderr: ''
  stdout: Tue, 28 Jan 2025 05:47:38 +0000
  succeeded: true
bash:~$ st2 execution list
+--------------------------+------------+--------------+------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| id                       | action.ref | context.user | status                 | start_timestamp               | end_timestamp                 |
+--------------------------+------------+--------------+------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 67986f7ab5637b4fd705db62 | core.local | custom_user  | succeeded (0s elapsed) | Tue, 28 Jan 2025 05:47:38 UTC | Tue, 28 Jan 2025 05:47:38 UTC |
+--------------------------+------------+--------------+------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+

The command worked correctly, and StackStorm seems to be operational.

bash:~$ st2ctl status

I have the following questions:

1. Does StackStorm work correctly in Ubuntu 22.04 installed this way ?
2. Is this a correct work-around ?
3. Do we have any hidden points of failure?
4. Are there specific steps or tools available to validate that StackStorm is fully functional and configured properly?

Looking forward to suggestions and comments
Thanks
