Machine executor: instance is old
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 ?
I'm curious about this also. Will the machine executor images be updated anytime soon? Many of the included packages are very out of date as well. Thanks.
As far as I understand to update machine executor image it is possible only in the process of job executor via custom scripts (I need java8 and maven 3.5.4 or 3.3.9 at least), right?
Has anyone tried a dist upgrade to 18.04? It might be terribly slow but it would probably work.
