Question CentOS 8

[DieterWerner]

CentOS 8
has it (in the meantime) become safe to use CentOS 8 under Plesk?

Where do the doubts come from?

I just set up the server on CentOS 8. So far, no surprises. Everything works.

Where do the doubts come from?

From the last few months

From the last few months

So Docker does not work out of the box. As from what I have found there is no extension for podman or any alternative sadly.

Also if you use Atomicorp ModSecurity, they dont work at the moment.
They said they would support it in the 18.0.31 update, if no important bugfixes pushes it back until 18.0.32.

So it still sounds like to be not safe to use CentOS 8 and Plesk - or am I wrong?

 

[Peter99]

Keep in mind that CentOS 8 supports full package updates from official repos, up until 2024.
CentOS 7 no longer gets full package updates - only security updates.

I would go with CentOS 8. It got a few things missing, but it is absolutely doing it's job. No bugs noticed yet - though some features like Atomicorp rules are missing.

Currently running Plesk current Obsidian version with CentOS 8, Composer, ElasticSearch, PHP 7.4, Redis and Magento 2.4.1 on a VPS with absolutely no issues at all.

Updates from CentOS, Plesk and the various repositories come in and work. TLS 1.3 and NGINX work out of the box with Plesk.
