How to install m23 server on Ubuntu?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 564 / 3 Years ago, sat, september 18, 2021, 10:32:51

I would like to use m23 to maintain a cluster of other Ubuntu machines, but unfortunately I can't find any documentation how to install m23 server on an Ubuntu machine. Neither are there any packages for Ubuntu.

Does anybody know how to install m23 on an Ubuntu machine?

UPDATE: The Debian source does not work for Ubuntu

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 m23 : Depends: apache-common ist aber nicht but is not going to be installed

                      apache2.2-common ist but is not going to be installed

That is strange, because of the fact that apache is installed. What ever, trying to install the package leads to an error:

Package 'apache-common' has no installation candidate

I think, the problem is, that the packages in Ubuntu have a different name. Is that possible?

m23 is not intended for use on Ubuntu as m23 server. There are too many dependencies on Debian system things for it to run on a derivate of Debian, which differs in crucial parts from Debian (like Ubuntu).

You would have to re-write m23 in some parts to make it run on a Ubuntu machine.

For this reason, the m23 packages won't install on Ubuntu. m23 even checks if the machine you plan to install it on is a Debian machine, and it won't start if it is on Ubuntu.

You can, however, install m23 in a VM on your Ubuntu machine. Or you can set up a Debian server for m23. You could even install m23 on a Raspberry Pi, or in a CloudStack environment. But always on Debian.

And of course, you can manage Ubuntu machines using your m23 server.

If you have questions, you can also always ask in the m23 forum - I guess questions about m23 might be answered faster and more complete there by the people who write m23 (like me, I found your question by accident).
