aws-codedeploy-agent: CodeDeploy agent is not supporting ruby v3.0.1

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.

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.

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?

Thanks @moosthuizen42

For anyone who doesn’t know how to do anything like me, here’s the noob steps:

1. Enter the following command: touch install-code-deploy-ubuntu22-ec2.sh

2. Enter the following command: cat > install-code-deploy-ubuntu22-ec2.sh

3. Paste the following:

   #!/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
   

4. Press ctrl + d

5. Enter the following command: chmod u+x install-code-deploy-ubuntu22-ec2.sh

6. Enter the following command: ./install-code-deploy-ubuntu22-ec2.sh

7. Enter the following command: sudo service codedeploy-agent status

The next version of the agent will support Ruby 3. We’re sorry for the delay in this support.

We are in the process of upgrading our Rails apps to Ruby 3.0.5 and this is a huge blocker for us. It’s inconceivable that this agent doesn’t support a more updated version of Ruby! 😡

NOTE: I was actually able to remove the Ruby checks and it seems like the agent installed correctly. However, I’m pretty sure that the auto-update function will try to update to the next version which will probably screw up somewhere/somehow.

Target is to begin shipping in early March and complete all commercial regions by mid March.

CodeDeploy cannot be installed with Systems Manager on AL2022 for the same reason. It’s a blocker.

My region is eu-south-2, that’s why.

@e200 just wanted to let you know that CodeDeploy Agent 1.6.0 is available in all commercial regions now including eu-south-2

as predicted, no 3.1 and 3.2 support 😄

few weeks for ruby 3.0, few months for 3.1 and few years for 3.2

I promise it won’t be that long. We’re spinning up tests now for 3.1 and 3.2. 1.5.1 will have that support with good regression tests going forward.

I have it on good authority that codedeploy agent version 1.5 is in QA and will be released within a few weeks.

Confirmed. 1.5 rollout is imminent and will add support for Ruby 3.0 along with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS support. Release notes and official docs coming soon.

Great to see it after only 27 months for ruby 3 and 11 months for Jammy! Thanks! ❤️

The next version of the agent will support Ruby 3. We’re sorry for the delay in this support.

That’s great news! Any thoughts on when the next version might appear? I don’t even really need any new features or bug fixes, just adding Ruby 3.x support would be enough. 😁

Just an FYI on this thread that Ruby 2.7 is end-of-life in just over 2 months: https://endoflife.date/ruby

Agent 1.4 will be out soon. The version of the agent following that will support Ruby 3. This may need a major version bump to agent 2.0 as it will not support Ruby 2. The team will also look into including our own version of isolated Ruby.

The agent is anything but abandoned. We now have a dedicated team just focused on it and host deployments.

@ring-pete Just published it. Here is a link to the release: https://github.com/aws/aws-codedeploy-agent/releases/tag/1.6.0

I have it on good authority that codedeploy agent version 1.5 is in QA and will be released within a few weeks.

Any status update on an official fix? June sure was a long time ago, and Ruby 2.7 is EOL in a month.

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

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…

as predicted, no 3.1 and 3.2 support

FYI: as mentioned in #349 1.5.0 is live. Installation instructions are linked in the announcement.

This article is apropos - https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/AWS-is-Asleep-at-the-Lambda-Wheel/

CodeDeploy: one of the worst products within AWS. If you need an update, they take years. Minor mod on the script above to isolate version and ease the task on upgrades:

#!/bin/bash

# Installs CodeDeploy agent and its prerequisites on Ubuntu 22.04 given AWS CodeDeploy team doesn't exist
# https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/codedeploy-agent.html#codedeploy-agent-version-history
CODEDEPLOY_VERSION=1.4.1-2244

sudo apt update
sudo apt 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_"$CODEDEPLOY_VERSION"_all.deb
mkdir codedeploy-agent_"$CODEDEPLOY_VERSION"_ubuntu22
dpkg-deb -R codedeploy-agent_"$CODEDEPLOY_VERSION"_all.deb codedeploy-agent_"$CODEDEPLOY_VERSION"_ubuntu22
sed 's/Depends:.*/Depends:ruby3.0/' -i ./codedeploy-agent_"$CODEDEPLOY_VERSION"_ubuntu22/DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb -b codedeploy-agent_"$CODEDEPLOY_VERSION"_ubuntu22/
sudo dpkg -i codedeploy-agent_"$CODEDEPLOY_VERSION"_ubuntu22.deb

systemctl list-units --type=service | grep codedeploy
sudo systemctl status codedeploy-agent

@alexekorn Thank you so much ! I’ve been struggling with this for one day.

@mpdude that is my recent experience, yes. once installed properly works as expected.

We should look into this

So the agent STILL doesn’t support Ruby 3?
