CentOS 8 EOL was on 31/12/2021. What about the future?
Will there be any open source distribution officially supported by HCL, such as AlmaLinux for instance?
Thank you in advance,
Regards.
CentOS 7 EOL should be 31/12/24, otherwise Rocky Linux but I think it is not still officially supported.
I have a bunch of CentOS 8, it sounds foolish though to reinstall them with CentOS 7.
As for now Domino 12.0.1 is officially supported on SLES, RHEL and CentOS 7/8. Rocky and Alma are not mentioned, that's why I'm asking.
Ciao Stefano 😁
OK, you’re right… 
Ciao Massimo! 
normally supported if kernel is 4

I hadn't noticed the "kernel4" specification. Great to know. Thank you Jerome
I've moved all servers to rocky linux 8.5 (some from centos 7 and 2 from centos 8 )
2 domino 12.0.1 + traveler HA
1Domino 11 + community server
st meetings
st proxy
hcl connections
a db2/mysql/mongodb server
Thank you. I was confident that both Rocky and Alma are good to run Domino 👍🏻
What if you need HCL support? I'm afraid I can get a "Not running on a supported O/S" in case I need HCL support.
We are running 11.0.1FP4 on AlmaLinux-8.5-x86_64 without any problems
Followed the same build spec as we used for Centos7/8 seamlessly.
We also are also testing TrendMicro ScanMail so far without issue. (We did need to sudo yum Install libnsl ... but that was necessary on centos 8 too!)
So far no problem at all.
"AlmaLinux OS partners has committed to supporting AlmaLinux OS 8 at least until 2029, including stable and thoroughly tested updates and security patches. "
No brainer as far I am concerned.
