Machine executor: instance is old

Open JulienBalestra opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

I do not know if it's the right place...

I read the documentation about the machine executor but I didn't find a way to specify a newer image than:

  • circleci/classic:latest
  • circleci/classic:edge

The distribution of these machines is ubuntu 14.04.

cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.5 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"

In some case, it's too old, especially for projects based on systemd.

I would like to know if it is planned to upgrade the OS used by the machine executor ?
