Tested on Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04, Debian 12 and 13, AlmaLinux 10
and openSUSE Leap 15.6. On Leap the panel did not start: the secret key
was written with python3 before the installer looked for Python 3.10+,
and Leap has only python3.11, so the key was empty. The installer still
said "Finished!" and exited 0, as it did for any failed step.
Now Python is found first. The package list update, each package, the
clone, the key, pip, migrate and collectstatic stop the installer with
a message when they fail (pipefail makes a logged step's status count).
Also:
- Ubuntu 26.04 is installed; Ubuntu 18/20 and Debian 9-11 are refused
up front (their Python is older than 3.10, so they failed later).
- The uos and openEuler branches are gone: untested, and their Python
is too old as well.
- Only `apt-get update`, no upgrade of the whole system.
- Debian no longer asks for smbios-utils (gone in Debian 13) and uuid,
which nothing uses; Debian and Ubuntu take python3-libvirt.
- RHEL reads the time zone like the others, and installs hostname for
ALLOWED_HOSTS.
- The unused wvcuser account is no longer created.
- The end of the run says where the admin password is.
