system support policy

Moonshot relies on other software components, and more importantly, operating systems on both server- and client-side. We recognise that in current applications and target audiences, long-term support versions of popular operation operating systems are order of the day, therefor therefore it is the intention of the Moonshot project to follow the support policies of the major operating system vendors/distributions:


Linux:

  • Our current distribution compatibility page is here: Linux Compatibility List
  • Alpine: We currently support versions 3.13, and 3.15 in line with Alpine Linux policy here: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_Linux:Releases
  • Debian/Raspbian: We currently support Debian 8 and 9. Unofficially, Debian 7 is also still supported. Support for this version terminates on 31 May 2018 versions 9, 10, and 11 in line with the Debian LTS policy here: https://www.debian.org/News/2016/20160425
  • Ubuntu: We currently support Ubuntu 12LTS versions 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, as well as Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (with unofficial packages). We will terminate Ubuntu 12.04 support on 31 May 2018 20.04 in line with the Debian LTS policy and then be in line with the Ubuntu Ubuntu release policy here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
  • RedHat and CentOS: We currently support RedHat and CentOS 6.8 and 6.9, and RedHat and CentOS 72 and 7.3. CentOS 6 maintenance support terminates 30 November 2020, in line with RedHat and CentOS policy.

  • Big Sur (11)
  • Earlier versions of macOS may support Moonshot but are not supported by us.

Software support policy

In line with the vendors of our supporting software components, it is sometimes unavoidable that older software is retired. Where the operating system support is greater, the operating system support takes precedence.
