Beyond Leap 15.6: will Rockstor use Leap 16, MicroOS, Slowroll

1

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.

Cheers
Simon

Great points to bring up, @simon-77 !

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.
