Getting issue while installing openwisp

Start with the reported Ansible reproduction using hosts, playbook.yml, and the ansible-playbook command, then inspect the failed installation of Pillow 9.1.1 under Python 3.12. Confirm whether the setuptools build-environment error can be reproduced and determine what change would allow the openwisp-controller dependency installation to complete.

setuptools version

68.1.2

Python version

3.12

OS

Ubuntu 24.4

How to Reproduce

sudo apt install ansible-core
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo apt install sshpass
sudo apt install curl
sudo apt install git
pip install Jinja2>=2.11 --break-system-packages
sudo ssh-keyscan -H 127.0.0.1 >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
sudo ssh-keyscan -H 192.168.211.132 >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
sudo ssh-keyscan -H localhost >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
PermitRootLogin yes line in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config
should be able to ssh its own ip and also be added to sudoers
ansible-galaxy collection install "community.general:>=3.6.0" --force
ansible-galaxy collection install "ansible.posix" --force
ansible-galaxy install openwisp.openwisp2 --force
mkdir ~/openwisp2-ansible-playbook
cd ~/openwisp2-ansible-playbook

place below content in hosts file:

[openwisp2]
192.168.211.132

place below content in playbook.yml file

• hosts: openwisp2
  roles:

  • openwisp.openwisp2

  the following line is needed only when an IP address is used as the inventory hostname

  vars:
  postfix_myhostname: localhost
        
  #ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml -b -k -K --become-method=su
  ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml -u ctadmin -k --become -K
  ======================================== OR
  now create playbook with :

• hosts: openwisp2
  become: "{{ become | default('yes') }}"
  roles:

  • openwisp.openwisp2
    vars:
    openwisp2_radius: true
    openwisp2_freeradius_install: true

  set to false when you don't want to register openwisp-radius

  API endpoints.

  openwisp2_radius_urls: true
