NodeJS upgrade breaks ubuntu 18.04 because of GLIBC 2.28 #1442

Besides downgrading checkout, there is a solution.... Sort of? Node 18+ is incompatible with Ubuntu 18, you can read much more about it here, that's not really something within our control at all. We also do not support Ubuntu 18.04 anymore (as of April 2023 for GitHub, Ubuntu ended standard support for this image May 2023 as well), so you in order to stay on latest you will have to also update Ubuntu to a version within LTS still (20.04 will do just fine, if not 22.04). You can read more about our 18.04 deprecations for hosted runners and available hosted images here: actions/runner-images#6002 There isn't much else we can do about this so I'm going to close this issue out. |

@vanZeben sorry but I didn't mention I'm running on self hosted server, I don't use the action runner images. I found the info about ubuntu 18 being supported for self hosted here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/about-self-hosted-runners#linux There might be a miscommunication somewhere. |
Unfortunately that doesn't really change anything when it comes to using node 20. Node itself isn't built with compatibility with Ubuntu 18.04 and that's not something we can change with this action. The maintainers of node would need to do something about that. Either way, I would still recommend upgrading to an Ubuntu LTS image if you would like to use node 18+. That being said it seems there's a potential workaround by building node18 on your image manually, which is something that you will have to maintain. |
v3 of this action triggers deprecation warnings and will stop working soon, while v4 doesn't work under Ubuntu 18.04 which we use for ODBC testing due to actions/checkout#1442

It doesn't work there because the current Node used by this action doesn't support Ubuntu 18.04. See actions/checkout#1442 (for the same issue in another action).

Basically all in once all those server on ubuntu 18.04 become legacy |
Recent nodejs upgrade to v20 is breaking some servers which doesn't have the GLIBC 2.28 such as ubuntu 18.04:
I worked around by using the previous commit (f43a0e5) from the upgrade but I would like to use the latest version if its possible.
Is there another way?
