Remember to put a sticky note onto the server so people don’t just reboot the server and make all CDN content go boom…

Oh wait Windows will do that for you :skull:
It’s update time!!!
(JK I know Windows Server are less aggressive on Windows Updates)

20 February this year :sun:

for me, i’m using whatever the latest LTS version available as most of my hosted software is containerized, feels weird to run ancient OS in modern days (cough, windows, cough)

Well I mean the Linux that I learnt from books are CentOS 6.x and 7.x

Also I don’t think every piece of technology out there uses “LTS” for their long supported products :laughing:

Well, you can use Arch Linux, together with the linux-lts kernel…
Manjaro uses it as the default kernel

Not much cloud services provides Arch Linux as a base server image… And that’s quite telling.

I know you are an Arch fanboy but unfortunately (at least in my opinion) Arch is a bad choice for servers, especially for production servers.

I beg to differ.

Several cloud service providers offer Arch Linux VPS hosting options for deploying servers in the cloud. Here are the available services:

Dedicated Arch Linux VPS Providers

  • Virtua Cloud - Offers dedicated ArchLinux VPS servers with deployment in seconds, backed by 10G network links and a 7-day money-back guarantee
  • Cloudzy - Provides Arch Linux VPS hosting with custom ISO support, NVMe SSD storage, DDR4 RAM, up to 10 Gbps network speeds, and 99.95% uptime SLA
  • Cyfuture Cloud - Delivers lightweight and customizable Arch Linux server hosting with support for both cloud-based and physical server deployments
  • ASPHostPortal - Offers Arch Linux cloud server hosting with SSD storage for high-traffic websites

Major Cloud Platforms with Arch Linux Support

  • Linode (now part of Akamai) - Known for developer-friendly Linux hosting with support for a wide range of distributions including Arch Linux and Gentoo, with transparent pricing and excellent documentation
  • AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud - While these major providers primarily focus on enterprise distributions like Ubuntu, RHEL, and Amazon Linux, you can deploy custom Arch Linux images on their infrastructure

Most Arch Linux VPS providers offer root access, allowing you to fully customize your installation and maintain Arch’s rolling release model with the latest kernel and software updates.

here’s one hint: this happened for me too, but i didn’t check “remember me” checkbox when logging in. did admin implement a check on this? :thinking:

Aw, the constant flow of updates, my eyes! :flashlight:

If you run a server as a business, making sure that things keep working is the most important thing to have. That’s what most Linux distributions focus on: stability.

If you tested that your application works on, say, Debian 12, then you know that you will always be able to set it up on Debian 12 and it will keep working without issues. Because Debian 12 is Debian 12, it ships with the software and versions of software that Debian 12 shipped with, and that will not change. When it’s time to upgrade to Debian 13, you can test that your application works on Debian 13. And if it works, then you know it works.

Rolling release distros are highly unsuitable for this, because you never know when a package gets a big update that breaks other software. So businesses generally don’t want rolling release distros, and so hosting providers have little reason to offer them.

Almost.

Discourse has a setting that lets you configure how long people are logged in. By default, it was set to keep you logged in forever. But that creates a bit of a weird situation where you may be logged into the forum but not the client area. I disabled that setting now so Discourse uses regular session cookies instead of persistent cookies, which means that you’ll need to login a little bit more often.

But if you are logged into the client area with Remember Me enabled, then that should only be a single click on the Login button.

Arch has a AUR called downgrade. This will fixed the version of the package and it will not change

6 Likes

Why bother with a downgrade if you can just not upgrade through major versions in the first place?

Also, from my understanding, Arch will always push the latest packages. Which means that downgrade is not viable after all, for example PHP, once they pulled in 8.5 you’ll not be able to get more security updates on earlier versions despite the fact that they are still being supported like 8.4, 8.3… Which is disastrous.

And if like you’ve said:

If the tool actually just lock the package’s version than its even worse, and this is actually a reason why you not want to use Arch on a server.
