Consider downgrading to CentOS 7. It should work for 4 more years.
- p49k 6y agoRunning modern versions of software on CentOS 7 can be a giant pain due to the old version of glibc that’s baked in.
- vbezhenar 6y agoJava and Postgres will work.
- nix23 6y agoI go and drink some Corretto :)
- AshamedCaptain 6y agoI was supporting CentOS 6 until about a couple weeks ago.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoThen surely you understand what a pain it is.
- chaz6 6y agoAn easy way around this problem is to run the software in a docker container with a newer glibc.
- dijit 6y agoDocker "works" but has huge performance costs (disk IO) on CentOS7.
- soraminazuki 6y agoCan we take RedHat's word for it, though? CentOS 8 was supposed to be supported until 2029 before this bombshell announcement. https://web.archive.org/web/20201101131417/https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product https://web.archive.org/web/20201101131417/https://wiki.cent...
- rbowen 6y agoThe dates on that page were always dependent on Red Hat. In retrospect, obviously we should have made that clearer, and we will endeavor to do so in the future.
