Arvados

Now it complains that "Version '2.4.1-1' for 'arvados-server' was not found", and indeed, that version is not available

~$ apt list -a arvados-server
Listing... Done
arvados-server/bullseye 2.4.0-1 amd64
arvados-server/bullseye 2.3.3-1 amd64
arvados-server/bullseye 2.3.2-1 amd64

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/arvados.list 
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/arvados-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] http://apt.arvados.org/bullseye bullseye main

Perhaps the error is because https://doc.arvados.org/v2.4/install/salt-single-host.html suggests `git checkout 2.4-release` instead of `git checkout 2.4.0`

This is a bullseye 11 VM (via openstack.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de). I rebuilt the system and I get the same errors, even when checking out from the "2.4.0" tag.

Similar issues as reported at https://forum.arvados.org/t/salt-install-fails/109

By editing provision.sh to have

VERSION="2.4.0-1" 

and re-running it, the install advances and I get a new error:

" Clusters.ECWES: cluster ID should be 5 alphanumeric characters"

Okay, looking at https://doc.arvados.org/install/install-manual-prerequisites.html#clusterid the cluster id must be all lower case. The error message should be made to be more specific and link to the docs.

That's not accurate, this is documented, cf https://doc.arvados.org/v2.4/install/salt-single-host.html#prerequisites

* ports 443, 8800-8805 need to be reachable from your client (configurable in local.params, see below)

Ah, I went from https://doc.arvados.org/v2.4/install/index.html to "Installation with Salt (multi host)" → https://doc.arvados.org/v2.4/install/salt-multi-host.html and I didn't see the "pre-requisites" link on the left. Maybe it should be mentioned in the text?

Yes - this error message comes from the config loader, and it is missing the word 'lowercase'. I've pushed that fix, and also added that clarification in the sample `local.params` files.

Well, just to be clear, that section is mentioned in the index at the top of the single node page, and it's part of the flow of the page.

Also, if you are doing a single host install, why are you looking at the multi host page? The prerequisites are different. For example, with default settings, port 8800-8805 does NOT need to be opened for a multi host install, because all hosts listen on port 443.

Anyway; the multi host install page is messy and convoluted; I'm reworking it to be more like the single host page, with a more straightforward flow, in #19175.

Uhm, but if you are doing a single host install, why are you looking at the multi host page? The prerequisites are different. For example, with default settings, port 8800-8805 does NOT need to be opened for a multi host install, because all hosts listen on port 443.

Sorry, must have been my mistake; ETOOMANYTABS

FYI, others are still experiencing the `server_names_hash_bucket_size` issue
