Over the weekend, the Debian project announced the availability of their newest major distribution release, Debian 11 (code name “bullseye”). We’d like to congratulate the Debian project and the open source community for achieving this major milestone! With over two years in the making, it contains an impressive amount of new and updated software for a wide range of applications (check out the release notes for details). The project’s emphasis on providing a stable Linux operating system makes Debian Linux a preferred choice for database workloads.
The packaging, release, and QA teams here at Percona have been working on adding support for Debian 11 to our products for quite some time already.
This week, we’ve released Percona Server for MongoDB 4.4.8 and 5.0.2 (Release Candidate) as well as Percona Backup for MongoDB 1.6.0, including packages for Debian 11 as a new supported OS platform. Please follow the installation instructions in the respective product documentation to install these versions.
We’ve also rebuilt a number of previously released products on Debian 11. At this point, the following products are available for download from our “testing” package repositories:
- Percona Server for MySQL 5.7 and 8.0
- Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.7 and 8.0
- Percona XtraBackup 2.4 and 8.0
As usual, you can use the percona-release tool to enable the testing repository for these products. Please follow the installation instructions on how to install the tool and proceed.
As an example, if you’d like to install the latest version of Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 on Debian 11, perform the following steps after completing the installation of the base operating system and installing the percona-release tool:
1 2 3 | $ sudo percona-release enable ps-80 testing $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install percona-server-server percona-server-client |
Percona Distribution for MongoDB is a freely available MongoDB database alternative, giving you a single solution that combines the best and most important enterprise components from the open source community, designed and tested to work together.
Unfortunately it does not work
percona-release enable ps-80 testing
percona-release setup -y pxc-57
Result:
E: Unable to locate package percona-xtradb-cluster
E: Unable to locate package percona-xtradb-cluster-57
Hi Rafal. You see the issue as percona-release setup command enable only main repo for the specified product and disables all other percona repos. As PXC-57 packages are not in the main repo but in testing that is why you were not able to find them.
Any idea when XtraDB Cluster 8.0 will be ready for release for Debian 11 (Bullseye)? It seems I can only install from the testing branch right now.
Also, if I install from the testing branch, what is the process for upgrading to the release branch when it is available?
