Add rust toolchain to CI machines

[richardlau]

Refs: nodejs/node#58730

To support Temporal in Node.js we will need:

• V8 14.4 (or later, e.g. 14.5).
• An appropriate Rust toolchain (including cargo) installed on all machines in Jenkins (test and release) used for Node.js 26.

I think ideally we want to aim for Node.js 26.0.0 but technically enabling Temporal in Node.js could be a semver-minor update.

Tasks

• Discover all machines (and containers) that will need to be updated (FWIW I've started https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit/85454/ with --v8-enable-temporal-support set as CONFIG_FLAGS).
• Update machines/containers.

Ubuntu's binaries are version suffixed, e.g. cargo-1.82 and will need nodejs/node#62421 as well as select-compiler.sh changes to set CARGO and RUSTC environment variables to point to the binaries.

Debian is going to be a problem:

• Version 12 provides rustc 1.63
• Version 13 is not available on Rackspace

Hello @richardlau, I see no Windows machines in the to update list. I just wanted to check with you to make sure that no action is required for Windows.

[targos]

@StefanStojanovic the list is "tbc" (I guess it means "to be completed" in this context)

[StefanStojanovic]

I agree, but I see there are some unchecked machines (AIX), while none are listed for Windows, so I just wanted to check if it means "don't do anything on Windows", or if they were not added by accident.

[targos]

I added Debian and Fedora to the list myself, so I think it's incomplete for now (not by accident)

[richardlau]

@StefanStojanovic If you are able, please add the Windows machines that will be used to build Node.js 26 onwards.

[StefanStojanovic]

Sure, @targos, I want to check one thing with you first - based on this comment, we'll start moving to VS2026 after v26 release, so only VS2022 machines need to have Rust added, correct? I'll also add it to Ansible for the machines we'll provision in the future.

[targos]

That sounds right.

[richardlau]

I've started looking at Ubuntu 24.04 (added the machines and notes to the description).

@ryanaslett / @UlisesGascon Would you be able to install cargo and rust onto the macOS VMs?

[richardlau]

Debian is going to be a problem:

• Version 12 provides rustc 1.63
• Version 13 is not available on Rackspace

@targos IBM Cloud also does not have Debian 13 available, which means it looks like we'd need to create all of the Debian 13 machines at DigitalOcean (as we do for e.g. Fedora). Are we thinking of replacing Debian 11 with 13? Perhaps if so we can swap the Debian 11 Rackspace machine for one of the Ubuntu 24.04 machines at DigitalOcean?

[targos]

Are we thinking of replacing Debian 11 with 13?

Yes, swapping LGTM

I've opened #4282. I can work on this, but it might be next week (I'm out of office Friday and Monday).
