I know they've stated that they won't, but nobody can see the future, and like I said, it's a slight concern.Īnd admittedly I took a wait and see approach and didn't really campaign one way or another. Or the funds to continue to maintain AlmaLinux will go away and some type of licensing model will be necessary. I have a slight concern that AlmaLinux will eventually get integrated into a licensing model with CloudLinux and then you're back to where you started. To be fair, Ubuntu and Debian didn't exactly grab the bull by the horns after the CentOS 8 announcement to try and reclaim some of that market share. Maybe there's a specific reason that makes AlmaLinux worth the wait. The version of the binary actually upgrades. So you don't have to scour the changelogs of binary packages to see if the latest security fix has been applied to a package. Ubuntu and Debian derivations are less reliant on backported packages.

That means you can upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04 without having to rebuild the server. I guess I'm just a little surprised or shocked that people didn't consider Ubuntu or some Debian derivation, but instead waited for AlmaLinux to be released. Kind of makes you wonder why a totally different Linux distribution didn't gain traction after the CentOS 8 announcement. 'If it's not broke, don't try to fix it' comes to mind. There is the lure of starting with a 'clean slate' installing the O/S and Cpanel from scratch, then migrating the accounts but there are so many little custom things I tweaked in various areas without remembering to document, that is inviting trouble. Do that as a 'test run' with thorough testing then schedule the 'real' migration once the process is fully tested and documented. I would clone the server and modify my local LMHOST file to resolve the domains to the cloned server's IP address so I can test as if all the domains (and related apps, databases, etc) were already migrated. I've got too many things going on with various packages. I would definitely not try this cold turkey on a production server.

So would following a set of instructions like this, theoretically be all that I need to do? How to migrate from CentOS to AlmaLinux

In the end I just want the easiest most trouble-free migration. Therefore, it is pretty much a requirement that all builds happen against a build environment which matches the oldest operating system version one wants to support.Click to expand.This was my initial gut feeling but I'm sort of out of touch with Linux evolution as it pertains to Cpanel.

#CENTOS GLIBC 2.18 DRIVER#

Apparently, for their use cases, libc++ works well enough without this symbol (similar to libstdc++ from GCC), so they just need to tweak their build not to use it, and Chromium (and thus Chrome Driver and Chrome unstable) should work again soon.Īs an end user or even software developer who cannot rebuild the software in question (or maybe just does not want to invest such a non-trivial effort), there is little one can do about such glibc version dependencies. But this was only introduce in glibc 2.18, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 only has version 2.17.

glibc dependency creeped up to 2.18 in M61, breaking EL7 supportĭuring the switch to libc++, they accidentally referenced a new symbol from the glibc version in their sysroot, _cxa_thread_atexit_impl.

The Chromium developers are aware of the issue and working on a fix:
