As I am thinking about some changes to my Rockstor Server, I am also curiouse about the plans of Rockstor in moving beyond openSUSE Leap 15.6 (which is only maintained till April 2026).
Is there already a discussion (or decission), what the next “recommended” base system will be?
Simply Leap 16.0
Is the new openSUSE MicroOS distro on the table for discussion?
Or maybe remove the whole OS version dependency by using slowroll?
As I could not find a discussion neither in the forums nor on github, and as the end of Leap 15.6 is approaching, I am just curiouse about the plans of Rockstor moving forward.
These are questions we constantly ask ourselves but there’s unfortunately no quick answer. I’ll thus take the time to reply properly a bit later today as I’m currently a bit short on time at this very moment, I’m afraid.
Depending on how slow the roll is in the rolling release, may affect stability of the Rockstor software as a NAS appliance. If the rolling release is too fast it will definitely affect stability of the Rockstor NAS software. Using rolling releases can also introduce breakage even more so than stable, which would require more testing before each release build.
