CodeDeploy agent is not supporting ruby v3.0.1

[charusat09]

When I tried to install codedeploy agent on my server:

$ bundle install
Fetching gem metadata from http://rubygems.org/...........
Resolving dependencies...
Bundler found conflicting requirements for the Ruby version:
  In Gemfile:
    Ruby

    aws_codedeploy_agent was resolved to 1.3.2, which depends on
      Ruby (~> 2.0)

Ruby (~> 2.0), which is required by gem 'aws_codedeploy_agent', is not
available in the local ruby installation
$ ruby -v
ruby 3.0.1p64 (2021-04-05 revision 0fb782ee38) [x86_64-linux]

We are using Rails v6 and Ruby v3.0.1.

@charusat09 i'm going to go down the rabbit hole fork and bump this project 3.0.1 and see how far i can get in my staging env

@rromanchuk Will you please submit your PR to this project? Thanks.

So the agent STILL doesn't support Ruby 3?

[rromanchuk]

@OmriSama i've been using ansible/system manager to provision this as a standard systemd service using the same rbenv ruby 3.1.0 environment the rest of my production uses, without an issue. Wanted to make sure there were no major runtime blockers for the agent source on its own. a lot of the complexity here is just cross platform distribution

Another motivation was to get rid of the system ruby dependency, which really is just minor changes to the service config https://github.com/aws/aws-codedeploy-agent/blob/master/init.d/codedeploy-agent.service

Let me at least publish an example of what i am doing. I was thinking about maybe how adding a new install type https://github.com/aws/aws-codedeploy-agent/blob/master/bin/install#L478 to offer rbenv/custom install, which is really just a user supplied path, instead of relying on system packagers, which will consistently always drag many versions behind a modern ruby deployment.

I'm trying to use the codedeploy agent with Ubuntu 22.04, but there seems to be no way to achieve that.

1. The codedeploy package checks for ruby 2.x:
   Dependency is not satisfiable: ruby2.0|ruby2.1|ruby2.2|ruby2.3|ruby2.4|ruby2.5|ruby2.6|ruby2.7

2. I can't install ruby 2.7, because it is not compatible with OpenSSL 3.0

So there is no way to use codedeploy on Ubuntu 22.04 atm, except maybe package my own codedeploy package...

CodeDeploy should really embed its own Ruby, like Chef does.

[philstrong]

We should look into this

It's "funny" that every two years I end up in this issue tracker because the Codedeploy agent is apparently an unloved child to AWS. Release of 18.04: broken (#158), Release of 20.04: broken (#264), Release of 22.04: broken (this issue).

I really can't wrap my head around how such a fundamental* piece of software can be such a trash fire for years when released by a multi-billion dollar company. This repo once again hasn't seen a commit for 10 months now :(

Sorry for all the negativity in most of my comments in this repo, but it's really frustrating when you have to work with this every day and run into the same walls every Ubuntu release :(

* Or am I one of the last 5 persons on earth that aren't using containers and still rely on Codedeploy?

You are not alone, my friend.

Although, you could still be using CodeDeploy even if you did use containers!

@philstrong I was thinking about maybe a BYOB(inary) solution, something simple like passing --binary-path. The cross platform requirements are what makes this challenging. Apt and Amazon Linux 2 are always going to be 5 years behind, so there would never be a case where the daemon would be able to use the same production ruby binary.

I've verified a successful installation and deployment, using a similar process to 20.04's required installation, where you repackage the .deb to require ruby3.0 instead of 2.x:

cd /tmp
wget https://aws-codedeploy-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/releases/codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_all.deb
mkdir codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22
dpkg-deb -R codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_all.deb codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22
sed 's/Depends:.*/Depends:ruby3.0/' -i ./codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22/DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb -b codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22/
dpkg -i codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22.deb

You will also need to install ruby-webrick via apt/yum/etc, since it is no longer included by default in Ruby 3.

And afterward, voila:

$ systemctl list-units --type=service | grep codedeploy
  codedeploy-agent.service                       loaded active running LSB: AWS CodeDeploy Host Agent

(It sure feels like CodeDeploy is abandoned/deprecated. Or, if not, it's been the biggest issue for our Ubuntu upgrades the last two times. Given this experience, I'll be looking for a less janky way to deploy.)

EDITED to add information about webrick, now that I've verified a successful deployment.

Expanding on the answer above, here is a full script. Massive thank you to @alexekorn. This script essentially replaces all the intructions in the official documentation (Install the CodeDeploy agent for Ubuntu Server).

#!/bin/bash
# This installs the CodeDeploy agent and its prerequisites on Ubuntu 22.04.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ruby-full ruby-webrick wget -y
cd /tmp
wget https://aws-codedeploy-us-east-1.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/releases/codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_all.deb
mkdir codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22
dpkg-deb -R codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_all.deb codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22
sed 's/Depends:.*/Depends:ruby3.0/' -i ./codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22/DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb -b codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22/
sudo dpkg -i codedeploy-agent_1.3.2-1902_ubuntu22.deb
systemctl list-units --type=service | grep codedeploy
sudo service codedeploy-agent status

You should see this when installation has been successfully completed:

Working on Ubuntu 22.04 (ami-09d56f8956ab235b3) deployed on a t3.nano instance in N. Virginia.
