docs: remove broken Ubuntu noble install instructions#45510
Conversation
The install documentation showed an apt-based install path for Ubuntu 24.04 (noble), but apt.envoyproxy.io does not currently publish a noble release. Users following the docs hit a 404 on apt-get update. Replace the broken code-tab with a note that points users to the pre-built Docker images and the GitHub release binaries, and references the tracking issue.

tbh i think we should remove the apt instructions for now - the repo hasnt been updated in a while and despite wanting to i didnt get time to fix it up |
Per maintainer feedback on envoyproxy#45510, the apt repository at apt.envoyproxy.io has not been updated for some time and is not currently maintained, so the per-distro apt tabs (Debian bookworm/ bullseye/trixie, Ubuntu focal/jammy) are misleading. Replace the whole tab block with a single note pointing users at the pre-built Docker images or static binaries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Good call — addressed in 4f5f04b. I removed the entire apt tabs block (Debian bookworm/bullseye/trixie, Ubuntu focal/jammy) and replaced it with a single note pointing users at the pre-built Docker images and GitHub release static binaries, plus a link to issue #44405 for tracking. Let me know if you'd prefer different wording on the note. |
