Hello The instructions here https://puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/5.2/install_from_source.html don't actually work! I'm doing this on Ubuntu 18 (Bionic). I've installed *lein* from the Ubuntu 18 packages rather than pulling it down from github (in case that is relevant). When performing this step ... *lein with-profile ezbake ezbake stage* I get the response (after some time) of ... *"Could not transfer metadata puppetlabs:puppetdb:5.3.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from/to snapshots (https://artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net/artifactory/list/clojure-snapshots__local/): Connect to artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net:443 [artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net/192.69.65.54] failed: Connection timed out (Connection timed out)* *Failed to retrieve remote metadata puppetlabs:puppetdb:5.3.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml: Could not transfer metadata puppetlabs:puppetdb:5.3.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from/to snapshots (https://artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net/artifactory/list/clojure-snapshots__local/): Connect to artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net:443 [artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net/192.69.65.54] failed: Connection timed out (Connection timed out)* *Error encountered performing task 'ezbake' with profile(s): 'ezbake'* *Failed to retrieve remote metadata puppetlabs:puppetdb:5.3.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml: Could not transfer metadata puppetlabs:puppetdb:5.3.0-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from/to snapshots (https://artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net/artifactory/list/clojure-snapshots__local/): Connect to artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net:443 [artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net/192.69.65.54] failed: Connection timed out (Connection timed out)"* Indeed the output is correct, *https://artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net <https://artifactory.delivery.puppetlabs.net>*, is inaccessible from any of the networks I've tried, and has been so for a number of days. Are there instructions that will work for Joe Average anywhere, i.e. someone who does not have access to that host and who isn't a Java *maven* (seems more appropriate than the word *guru* in this instance)? On Ubuntu 16 the OS distributor provides a pre-rolled package for puppetdb. Perhaps Canonical are unable to provide a package on Ubuntu 18 for PuppetDB for similar reasons to me (namely inaccessible sources)?
