Title: Recommended CWP Version for fresh install
Post by: Painkiller88 on October 23, 2023, 09:00:09 PM

Hi,

i know for a long time it was always CWP7 the recommended version, but from the state of today, when Centos 7 is EOL in half a year, is it still recommended to use centos7 or which version should i install if i want to setup a new server?

Centos 8 is already EOL, Centos 7 is in june 2024 so is if someone wanna stay with Centos it needs to be Centos 8 Stream or delayed but with delayed we get security updates half a year later or what?

So what does the experts say?

Thanks

I would recommend Almalinux 8. Working good for me on several servers.

Dev team is currently working on EL9 support. I am looking to ELevate come spring 2024 (from CentOS 7.9).

Pinging this thread to see if the current guidance has changed on recommended OS for a fresh install of CWP?

As the CentOS retirement sets in, I'm finding it hard to separate past recommendations from current ones. Even the installation documentation seems to still suggest CentOS.

Is there some current ( Oct 2024 ) guidance on the best OS to use for a fresh CWP installation?

Thanks everyone!

Almalinux 8 for production. In case you like pain and problems then look at Almalinux 9 / RockyLinux 9.

We are running a mix of AlmaLinux 8 and 9 also.

This user has beat his discussion like a dead horse.

Posting thread after thread on how CWP 'recommends CentOS 7', which they don't, and been pointed out to them several times.

The Official Recommended version is AlmaLinux 8.

Period.
