[teluq-pbrideau]

Pull Request (PR) description

As inspired by issue mentioned, this fix the install of wsgi for python 3.8 and 3.9 on rhel.
There is no need to set to specific mod_path as the packages provides the file in httpd/modules

yum provides /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_wsgi_python3.so

I’m not a very confident test writer, but I did my best to test the changes I made. Please suggest what could be done better if you think it is required.

EDIT: as of now, following versions are supported:

• 5.x: Python 3.8-3.11
• 6.x: Python 3.9-3.13
  I’ve added versions supported on EL8

Hi @teluq-pbrideau, thanks for your contribution! I wanted to help as I have some experience with a similar thing from #370. Initially I pushed some changes directly to your branch - sorry for that! 😓 - but I reverted them now. I am doing my further experiments on it's copy, here #373.

[teluq-pbrideau]

@gdubicki Thanks for what you tried, no problems.
I did install my infrastructure with different profiles for puppetdb and postgersql on my side, so i did not notice these bugs on the puppetboard class.
Maybe we should try to fix #364 and merge before merging my PR?

[teluq-pbrideau]

It seems to be a problem about upstream configuration about puppetdb itself. On my side, i’ve configured my infrastructure with

  package { 'postgresql-module':
    ensure      => '13',
    name        => 'postgresql',
    enable_only => true,
    provider    => 'dnfmodule',
  }
  class { 'puppetdb::database::postgresql' :
    listen_addresses    => '0.0.0.0',
    postgres_version    => '10',
    manage_package_repo => false,
    manage_server       => false,
    database_password   => $db_password.unwrap,
  }

as a weird hack that gets around installing correctly postgres

Is the upstream puppetdb module run the acceptance test on centos successfully?

[gdubicki]

(Yes, sorry @teluq-pbrideau, I moved your comment here.)

[gdubicki]

Is the upstream puppetdb module run the acceptance test on centos successfully?

No, but it's hard to tell why as the logs are gone, see https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppetdb/actions/runs/2064063268 ....

But it seems that the default installed Postgres version is 11 (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppetdb/blob/main/manifests/params.pp#L29), while this package does not seem to exist for Centos / Redhat 8 as both our Ci logs say:

Error: /Stage[main]/Postgresql::Server::Install/Package[postgresql-server]/ensure: change from 'purged' to 'present' failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/dnf -d 0 -e 1 -y install postgresql11-server' returned 1: Error: Unable to find a match: postgresql11-server

...as well as the Postgres docs: https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ No, sorry I misunderstood this. There is Postgres 11 for RHEL/Centos 8, it's just not included in the distro.

[teluq-pbrideau]

Would it be possible to merge this PR now that the test pass successfully? At lest start again the process to review this?
Thanks

Nevermind, just rebase from master, and test fail, I’ll work on them

Only Ubuntu 18.04 is failing right now, which is an EOL OS, so you may remove support for that OS.

[teluq-pbrideau]

@kenyon I’m not sure if it is the only place, I've found references on ubuntu 18.04 in metadata.json and .sync.yml, should I change something else?

[kenyon]

@teluq-pbrideau you can also remove https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-puppetboard/blob/master/data/os/Ubuntu.16.04.yaml and https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-puppetboard/blob/master/data/os/Ubuntu.18.04.yaml

[teluq-pbrideau]

Also, I see there is no acceptance test on RHEL (only on Debian and Ubuntu) and my PR is only related to RHEL.

Would it be simple to include acceptance on Rocky also? I’ve never done these kind of tests, so not sure if I really want to go down this rabbit hole, but if it is simple to add Rocky to the mix, would you be willing to help me helping this community?

[gdubicki]

(...) would you be willing to help me helping this community?

I would like to but apparently I don't know how as I failed to fix the tests the last time I tried.

@kenyon ?

[teluq-pbrideau]

I would rather have my changes merged than to wait another year for RHEL test to be included… Could we move forward please?

[teluq-pbrideau]

python3.6 is the version shipped with rocky8. At least, now tests successfully run, but the puppetboard github page indicate require python 3.9-3.13: https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppetboard

So Python should also be configured correctly now I guess…

[teluq-pbrideau]

At last, more than 2 years later, tests run successfully!

[kenyon]

Would be nice if the code could be deduplicated a bit, but that can be for another pull request.
