@polarapfel Thank you for the valuable feedback,we are investigating the issue.

Any updates on this?

[seguler]

@EmmaZhu to provide an update

[dkmbw]

Any Update on this? Would be really needed.

[EmmaZhu]

AzCopy v10 supports Ubuntu 18.04. You can download it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10. Would you like to have a try with it?

[Tiberriver256]

v10 is still in preview and doesn't support all the features v8 does yet. Like copying from File storage to Blob storage.

[dkmbw]

Any pessimistic estimate when that will happen? :)

[rnsc]

Hello @EmmaZhu,

Is there anything blocking Microsoft from release azcopy v8 on Ubuntu 18.04?

Thanks,

[sirkubax]

Is there anyone working on that?

Also - in general it is poorly written client...

[EmmaZhu]

Hi All, we are considering to release it on Ubuntu 18.04. Will get back to you soon.

[rnsc]

@EmmaZhu cool!
No ETA I presume?
Personally, I'm using Ansible to install azcopy and I prefer using packages rather than shell commands to install software for idempotency.

[rnsc]

Hi, is there any progress on this?

[ma1f]

based on their documentation to use the latest v10 here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10
simple script like so should do it

curl -L https://aka.ms/downloadazcopy-v10-linux -o azcopyv10.tar \
 && tar -xf azcopyv10.tar --strip-components=1 \
 && mv azcopy /usr/local/bin/azcopy \
 && rm azcopyv10.tar \
 && azcopy --version

[rnsc]

@ma1f yeah, I ended up implementing this with Ansible, but it's not great...

GitHub user seguler has been removed from the MicrosoftDocs organization, so they were automatically removed as an assignee.

[moshezvi]

Any update on this?

[dkmbw]

yeah, it would be cool if azcopy either will be discarded or put into the repository where az-cli is. it feels like azure does not really want that cloudusers use that tool
