Future OS Support (Alternatives to Centos 8)
Future OS Support (Alternatives to Centos 8)
Hello Vesta CP Community and Devs.
I have been using Vesta CP on Centos 7 for a few years now and absolutely love it. At the same time, being a CentOS user, I was devastated when Red Hat made the announcement to kill Centos 8 early. The announcement sent shockwaves through the tech industry.
Although there are now a few announced replacements for Centos 8, namely "Rocky Linux" and "AlmaLinux", the problem is, there is no long term history to gauge their stability. I personally have taken a liking to "Oracle Linux" which has a good history and is a compatable downstream of RHEL.
So far the only difference I have been able to truly have issue with is the "epel-release" which is named "oracle-epel-release-el8" which took me a while to find, so I am assuming some things will be named differently in some of the different alternatives.
Is there any talk of what will happen to VestaCP after Centos 7 on the RHEL side? I Know I could always switch over to Ubuntu or at the very least Debian... but I would prefer not to... at all costs.

+1 for AlmaLinux support. I'm looking forward to seeing AlmaLinux in the supported OS list by VestaCP.
It is stable and a good replacement for CentOS 8.

I have now had a chance to play with Alma... pretty good. Still hoping that there will be further RHEL/RPM based development on VestaCP... Not many good, working, control panels for non Ubuntu/Debian distros. I have been using RHEL based distros for decades, would have to switch over to Debian/Ubuntu...
Re: Future OS Support (Alternatives to Centos 8)
Unfortunately, looks like the VestaCP project is dead (or almost...). Besides AlmaLinux, the Rocky Linux distro is released (also based on RH 8): https://rockylinux.org/download/
I want to use a modern and better distribution than CentOS 7, but I prefer to stay with the Red Hat family. I'm searching for an alternative to VestaCP.
