CentOS is fading away. What to replace?

Question

linux

CentOS ends support, moving to another Linux. What can you advise? The servers have docker containers with Nginx, Python, Postgres. Basically all web applications with a load of 10'000-20'000 visitors per day.

Answer 1

1. What's what?
2. "10-20.000 visitors a day" is so small that you can choose at least what, but in the end

Answer 2

It's too early to think about it now. If you do not want to change to Debian / Ubuntu, then now only Oracle. The rest will catch up closer to summer.

Answer 3

Nothing to replace. As long as there is support.
1. Centos 7 will be supported for a long time.
If we are talking about Centos 8, then:
1. See if the promised Centos forks will take off - there will certainly be an opportunity to switch in-place to them from Centos 8.
2. Think about switching to Oracle Linux right now.
3. Think about switching to Redhat Enterprise Linux - they got scared and changed the license for developers - it seems like from February 1 you can use up to 16 machines with RHEL for free, including in production (there is no clarity in the news yet - how this will happen ).

Answer 4

Rocky linux, Oracle linux
In general, there is still time to hang out on centos: version 7 is supported until the end of this year, version 8 is supported until the end of 24

Answer 5

We are leaving for an import-substituting Calculate allowed by the Ministry of Communications and censorship :D

Answer 6

Debian as one of the best alternatives. Very stable system, ready to handle heavy loads. Each release is thoroughly tested before release.
PostgreSQL + Apache has been running for years with no problems.
Ubuntu as an alternative, only too often updated with whole packages (twice a year). Such updates will not always be appropriate if you need stability above all, and not new features.
