Upgrade Ubuntu test machines to Ubuntu 24.04 #4144
Description
These ones: https://ci.nodejs.org/label/ubuntu2204-64/
@nodejs/build Do you think it's ok to just replace them? Adding new VMs would be more conservative but I don't know if we can do that with our credits / agreements with the providers.

I think we can just replace them.
There's also the benchmark machines that are used for the V8 CI and benchmark jobs: https://ci.nodejs.org/label/benchmark-ubuntu2204-intel-64/
as well as the containers used for sharedlib testing.
ansible: introduce Ubuntu 24.04 test runners

See #4145
I started by creating a new VM for testing. Then we can replace the existing ones.

Copying #4144 (comment)
Hetzner (benchmark) machines
https://ci.nodejs.org/computer/test%2Dhetzner%2Dubuntu2204%2Dx64%2D1/
https://ci.nodejs.org/computer/test%2Dhetzner%2Dubuntu2204%2Dx64%2D2/
I don't think I have access to the Hetzner account, so I can't look at it to see if we can rebuild them with Ubuntu 24.04.
@ryanaslett I guess you have access to Hetzner? Is it possible to install Ubuntu 24.04 from scratch?
ryanaslett commentedon Oct 6, 2025
@targos I do have access to Hetzner. Let me see how to make that more available.

I see two new offline hosts:
What's the status on this upgrade?

The two Ubuntu 24.04 Hetzner machines have been set up via Ansible. I've taken the two Ubuntu 22.04 machines offline in Jenkins and swapped jobs over to the new ones. Assuming no issues come up in the next few days on the new machines we can then give @ryanaslett the ok to remove the Ubuntu 22.04 ones.

Coverity build failed on the new machines as we have a newer version of Coverity on the new machines (2024.12.1 vs 2024.6.1):

I've updated the PATH setting in the job and am rerunning: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-daily-coverity/3697/
richardlau commentedon Apr 1, 2026
Hmm. This succeeded and submitted the build, but the analysis on https://scan.coverity.com/projects/node-js has failed:

Opened #4287 for the Coverity issue.
