Provide Ubuntu PPA about netdata HOT 25 CLOSED

Is it possible for the deb to create system group and user for netdata? And a systemd config?
Also chown netdata:netdata /var/cache/netdata
And also it seems to require chown -R root:netdata /usr/share/netdata/web/

And I just noticed the lack of a logrotate config! Is there somewhere I can submit pull requests against the PPA?

I've set this up in https://launchpad.net/~gslin/+archive/ubuntu/netdata, please enjoy it.

I took Federico Ceratto's packaging for debian and made some minor changes to get it to build on launchpad for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial.

Two disclaimers:

• I packaged this for my own evaluation of netdata. It seems to work as intended in ubuntu, but I haven't verified anything more than being able to connect to netdata and see some graphs.
• Since I'm only evaluating using netdata so far, there's no assurance i will keep updating the packages.

Feel free to try it out. I'd be happy to receive comment on any issues with the package or help any aspiring packager to get going.

@gslin With the 1.3.0 release in August your PPA is out of date currently. Any plans to put 1.3.0 up?

from netdata.

Seems the PPA mentioned at #69 (comment) is 10 months out of date now. Should this issue be re-opened?

from netdata.

I've updated PPA with 1.10 for both Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.
Since I've upgraded to 18.04.1 everywhere before I started to update the PPA It's completely untested for 16.04.

from netdata.

You are right.
No time for this currently though.
You can of course set this up and I'll let everyone know.

from netdata.

Nice!

Is this the latest release or the github version?

Can you give me instructions to show at: https://github.com/firehol/netdata/wiki/Installation

from netdata.

Yeah, but I am not sure how to send pull request for wiki, so may I post here?

# apt-add-repository ppa:gslin/netdata
# apt-get update
# apt-get install netdata

Please feel free to modify it.

from netdata.

thanks!

2 questions:

1. Is this the latest release or the github version?
2. Is this updated automatically, or you do it by hand?

from netdata.

1. Yes, it's 1.1.0 (current latest version). (Please check https://launchpad.net/~gslin/+archive/ubuntu/netdata this page)
2. This is updated manually.

from netdata.

These ideas look great, I will improve PPA when available.

Just installed onto Trusty (Ubunut 14.04) and found no init script nor systemd config - bug?

Also had to run sudo chgrp -R netdata /usr/share/netdata/web/ to start from CMD as root, which might not be right, but working as the moment.

Hoping for an update soon! ;-)

FYI various scripts and config files have been publised on https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/netdata.git/tree/debian for #42

hm... they did it wrong... they replaced dygraphs library with the system wide one (probably the latest release of them), but the one used by netdata is a commit several months after the latest release, so certain features might be broken...

from netdata.

@ktsaou maybe we should move this discussion on #42 - anyhow only the system wide javascript libraries can be used (barring few exceptions) and the UI seems to be working with the libraries currently in Debian Unstable.

from netdata.

ok. I am closing this, and discuss it at #42

from netdata.

@gslin v 1.4 build seems to be broken at https://launchpad.net/~gslin/+archive/ubuntu/netdata Some missing files?

from netdata.

Gentle nudge about release v1.5.0 - https://github.com/firehol/netdata/releases/tag/v1.5.0, please build the next release packages, I am really lazy ... ;-)

This might prove more useful for Ubuntu to go on: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netdata. Unfortunately that only builds for Zesty (17.04) but it should be easy to set something up that tracks that and builds for other versions. The deb's listed there probably install on older versions of Ubuntu too.

from netdata.

re-opened. I can't help though. If anyone can help, please do so...

from netdata.

Why do not you update PPA for Ubuntu 18.04?

from netdata.

To all interested parties: I would like to unify how netdata packages are versioned, more in #5044

from netdata.

We are running issue #5963 to deliver binary releases under custom netdata repositories for our users. I will resolve this for now.

Do not hesitate to provide any inputs on the mentioned issue and its subtasks, any contribution is always valuable, we are what our users wants us to be anyway! :))

I have considered all closed packaging related issues and tried to re-use most contributions with a twist of automation and improvements where possible to get us there.

Of course #5963 is just the attempt to touch base with a long waited project, we will have more and more iterations until we get our packaging to an Enterprise level standard. Your contributions have been of great help so far, so thank you all in advance and see you on the next issue you will need our help!
