simplify

[canoodle]

while it is cool to have a "configurator" https://vestacp.com/install/ -> "Advanced install settings"

doesn't this create complexity that can not be handled except by a 1000x monkeys that test every possible combination day and night? (before very new release)

just asking.

What do you propose as alternative solution?

[canoodle]

only support latest debian (should work on ubuntu as well) and centos - heavy testing there (have it running with latest latest kernel under centos7 even inside docker) no further customizations of the install command line/script - reducing complexity. (i bet most combinations do not get tested anyway)

i bet this is what went wrong here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=17414

worked fine for me under:

Code: Select all

hostnamectl; # give us some details
Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7
            Kernel: Linux 4.17.12

I agree that support should be dropped at sometime (for installation). I don't think that somebody today is going to install from scratch Ubuntu 12.04 for instance.

However, with the installation there are different variants. I for example don't use Apache at all. But many people do. Or on some servers I don't host email accounts, so why run SpamAssassin and ClamAV on these servers?

I also have a case that it is a mail server only. Why install MySQL etc?

no customization options, it makes things too complex = untestable, if you really want to customize vestacp - do it on your own - release a howto for others to follow.

example: i don't want roundcube, webmail is cool, but i am not using it, (without SSL nobody should use it) less software = more secure system.

here is how to do it:

Personally I disagree. For instance, Roundcube could be optional; however, I really like the flexibility of options with Vesta. If you ask me, there should be even more (ex. MariaDB as optional).
