Public bug reported:

Hi,

puppetmaster (which was the ruby based server until version 5.x) is
outdated and as far as I know not supported/patched/developed anymore.

It had been superseded by puppetserver, which, to the best of my
knowledge, came as a jruby app under version 6 to be run with java, and
now comes written in clojure in version 7, still to be run with java run
time.

Client side is still running under regular ruby.

I've tested javaserver 7 as a docker app, and there are some
differences, but not a big deal. Pretty easy to install the server with
either docker or the deb packages provided by puppetlabs, and to use
their deb or just the ruby gem as the client.


However:

It is definitely not recommendable to go into Ubuntu 22.04 with an
outdated and unsupported puppet 5.


You should make a decision whether to further provide puppet as an ubuntu 
package and thus do the upgrade now to have it tested in Ubuntu 21.10, or to 
completely drop puppet from ubuntu and leave it to the installation ways 
described above. Both would be ok to live with, but not having outdated 
packages in ubuntu. 

BTW, didn't see it as a snap.

regards
Hadmut
