I am having difficulty migrating CI to github actions for a project which needs newer GTK/glib than is available in 18.04. Is there any indication of when 20.04 will become available in actions?

[orthodoX]

@kinnison I have the similar problem 😞

[peaceiris]

Is there any roadmap about this?

I have some public GitHub Actions and want to test those on the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Now, the version is not available via runs-on so I will use the following workaround.

jobs:
  my_job:
    container:
      image: 'ubuntu:20.04'

We are looking forward to 20.04! 😄

Hello everyone, we are looking at adding Ubuntu 20.04 environment but can't provide any ETA or promises for now. Will keep you posted

[maxim-lobanov]

Hello everyone!

We are happy to say that Ubuntu 20.04 is available for both GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps! 🚀
You can switch to it using ubuntu-20.04 label in YAML files.

We added Ubuntu 20 as a preview for now. It means that ubuntu-latest label is not updated and still points to Ubuntu 18.04. Also some important tools are not available on Ubuntu 20.04 yet.

The list of the tools that are not available on Ubuntu 20.04 yet (It should be available in a few weeks):
1) Docker
2) Pre-cached versions of Python, PyPy, Ruby, Node (setup-python / UsePython, setup-ruby / UseRuby tasks may not work properly due to that).

Also we have deprecated a bunch of software from Ubuntu 20.04, especially old versions of tools for which we support multiple versions. If you see that any important tool or version is missed on Ubuntu 20.04, please feel free to create the separate issue on adding it back.

Please share you feedback and let us know if any issues

Docker is now officially available for Ubuntu 20.04: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/focal/pool/stable/amd64/

Could you update the image?

[maxim-lobanov]

@AkihiroSuda , we can't install official docker version on images because of legal issues. On our images, we use special Moby version licensed for MS images (from https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/). Docker for Ubuntu 20.04 is available on preview channel. We are going to add this to image soon #1002

[blake-newman]

@maxim-lobanov what is the estimated timeframe it takes after PR is merged before the image will be available to public?

[maxim-lobanov]

New image with Docker should be available tomorrow or on Monday. We will update this issue

[miketimofeev]

The image with docker has been deployed.

[Blaok]

Somehow ubuntu-20.04 shows up as windows.

[maxim-lobanov]

@Blaok , I have created the separate issue for bug that you have found: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1050. We will escalate it to appropriate team. Thank you!

[maxim-lobanov]

Hello everyone, latest deployed image contains pre-cached versions for Ruby, Python, PyPy, and Node.JS so setup-node, setup-python, setup-ruby actions should work as expected.
I am going to close this issue since Ubuntu 20.04 is deployed and available for everyone! 🚀

Feel free to create a separate issue if you see any problems with new image.
