Bug Report/Feature-ish request: debian package should provide container runtime version constraint

[donaldguy]

OS Version

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

System Information

Linux odroidn2 6.1.63-current-meson64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 20 10:52:19 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux

What happened?

I have been expressing this opinion over in home-assistant/supervisor#4834 and I decided to get off my butt and put the point over here where it rather belongs.

In light of what has happened with home-assistant/supervisor#4827 (Docker 25.0.0 breaking hassio network initialization), I think its clear that this package should be providing either some pin/constraint or an out-right hold on the docker-ce packages to a known good version.

self-quoting from https://github.com/home-assistant/supervisor/pull/4834#issuecomment-1913733315 :

... and/but then speaking as a supervised-installer user, I would say (again, as in PR descrip) that this pin/constraint should absolutely be in the debian package metadata (https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/blob/main/homeassistant-supervised/DEBIAN/control) or at least the https://github.com/home-assistant/supervised-installer/blob/main/homeassistant-supervised/DEBIAN/postinst should call the relevant apt-mark holds

I am willing to have HASSIO holding-back this machine from taking on newer docker engine, but I am pretty peeved to have it break on apt upgrade

---

That said, my suspicion is that HA et al are facing down a bigger container runtime reckoning sooner-rather-than later, with cgroups v1 officially officially deprecated (for sometime-this-year removal) in systemd 255

and with that a question of e.g. jumping ship(/"jumping whale") from docker/moby entirely to podman, or systemd-nspawn, or whatever.

It did not escape my notice that the /usr/sbin/hassio-supervisor run command recently grew a containerd.sock mount

So ... there's that.

(Also if this is getting any eyes, I would also like to highlight my concerning apparmor related findings over in home-assistant/supervisor#4839 - something that amongst other implications, suggests there may be pins for other packages in Debian 12 in urgent-ish order)
