Alma Linux 9.0 Support

[ruyman]

Besides what @vacancy said, the time a thread has been created isn't related to development time.

I can say that our developers have created an AlmaLinux 9 installer, but there's still some things that aren't quite ready for prime time. I would think by version 112 we'll have some more updates on that OS.

I'm glad to hear that and so I could install Almalinux9 without installing version 8 first.

@ruyman - at this point you should not be using version 9 with cPanel.

I wanted to say that I will install it when the official version is available. From what you said before, there is less time left.

It's urgent that cPanel+WHM support Almalinux 9 *asap*

Migrating hosting accounts between past-EOL versions is time consuming, costly, and occasionally risky.

AlmaLinux 8 only has active support until May '24 (just over a year from now), but (mercifully) security support until March '29.

Whereas AlmaLinux 9 has active support until May '27, and security support until May '32

I need to do a new installation of cPanel+WHM in the next few weeks. I'd massively prefer to install it on a v9 Linux, not v8.

hello,
I have successfully installed cpanel 112 on almalinux 9 .
everything seems to work but there is always the disturbing warning that cpanel does not support almalinux 9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
since I have to put it into production what do I do? I'm waiting? do we have a date? or do I roll back to almalinux 8 ?

Thank you

 

[cPRex]

@leonep - AlmaLinux 9 is still experimental, so while you may be able to install it under version 112, it's not officially production-ready, so the warning is correct.

 

[leonep]

yes @cPRex , but my question i another .
does anyone know when cpanel will be ready to support almalinux 9 fully?
thanks

 

[quietFinn]

Short answer: No.

 

[leonep]

another info please...
if i find something bad where i must report it ?
ticket is good or cpanel have dedicated area for this ?
thanks

 

[cPRex]

What kind of bad thing? If it's something that you think I can reproduce, you can share it here and I'll do some testing. If it's a possible security issue, please email [email protected] so they can check it out.

i got a problem with installation of wp-toolkit but after quick ticket cpanel staff fix it.

This seems to be a result of changes in the default cryptographic policy settings from version 8 to 9 of Alma Linux. We have updated it here;

# update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:SHA1
Setting system policy to DEFAULT:SHA1
Note: System-wide crypto policies are applied on application start-up.
It is recommended to restart the system for the change of policies
to fully take place.

Once we updated, we were then able to run the installer, and wp-toolkit is now installed;

# wp-toolkit --versions
Available versions:
6.2.2, 6.1.3, 6.0.5, 5.9.7, 5.8.7, 5.7.9, 5.6.11, 5.5.12, 5.4.13, 5.3.15, 5.2.18, 5.1

for cpanel only user i think it's ok Almalinux9.
i test some wordpress websites it looks good.

The problem now is Cloudlinux ......................

Full support for all control panels ETA
We’re working now to make CloudLinux OS 9 available in other popular control panels: cPanel, Plesk, and DirectAdmin. We expect to introduce the full support of the CloudLinux OS 9 editions – Shared/PRO/Admin/Solo in the year 2023.

i try to install and of course it not works with cpanel.
to put this server into production i need CL. so i think i must rollback to almalinux 8
