22 22
Ten years ago we announced support for software on CentOS 7 and we’ve been building and running software on that OS ever since. On June 30, 2024, CentOS 7 will reach End of Life and the last of the CentOS 7 security updates.

-Rocky Linux and Alma Linux fill the gap left by the discontinued CentOS Linux stable release.

-Alma and Rocky Linux are both designed to be 100% binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Like RHEL, they are focused on long-term stability for production-grade platforms. SBGrid supports both Rocky versions 8 and 9, and Alma versions 8 and 9. We are using Alma Linux internally for our workstations but both distributions are supported and should be nearly identical.

Many labs also use Ubuntu, Mint, Debian and OpenSuSE with SBGrid. We don't explicitly test the software on distributions other than the RHEL-based distros above, but the majority of the software is known to work on Ubuntu 20 and 22. We will work to resolve problems reported by users of these Linux distributions where possible on a best-effort basis.
