As a happy VyOS nightly user,
They used to have donation options, where in exchange for a regular donation you get LTS releases, (via Patreon and OpenCollective) but both have been decommissioned. I'm not a huge fan of how that was done and how hard it is to find up to date information on that.
Nightlies are pretty stable in my experience, and with the off-device backups, a full recovery will be relatively painless.
- flyinghamster 2y agoThanks for the vote of confidence (and I can always throw VMs onto ZFS volumes), but I think I'll chalk it up as "I'm not its target market" and move on. Their documentation talks of snapshot releases and such, but there's absolutely no information on actually finding them. It doesn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Bad actors have forced them to pull all the rugs except the nightlies, it seems.
- sofixa 2y agoYeah, no, there's just some old forum posts and blogs talking about stuff that no longer exists. (On this topic, I really like websites with automatic warnings "this was written X years ago, might no longer be true"). Your options are to use the nightlies (perfectly fine IMO), pay a lot for an enterprise LTS, or be a non-profit/education and get LTS for cheap/free.
