Future of Software Anchors
Hi everybody! I have been running a Software probe on CentOS 8 since mid 2020. (and since switched it to Rocky Linux 8) It’s unsupported, but also didn’t really make any problems, just worked fine with the yum repo distributed package! Great that there are already plans to support newer versions as well! And has there something changed in the distribution of the package? Because the latest changes of version 5070 don’t look like they appeared in the GitHub repo? Best regards, Lukas On 14/05/2022 11:14, ripe.net--- via ripe-atlas wrote: Hi Simon,
So it does not really make sense, to set up a new Anchor with CentOS 7, i guess. What are the plans, dear RIPE Labs? I searched the atlas mailinglist topics for "software anchor" and "centos 7" but didn't find anything.
For now, we are still deploying Atlas anchors with CentOS 7. However, in the latter half of this year, we plan to work on adapting our configuration systems to a newer Linux distribution. After that, we will upgrade all the Atlas anchors (hardware and virtual) to the newer distribution.

I just made a new anchor the other day, and CentOS 7 is still the requirement, I also rebuilt one of the original VM anchors as well - it had a different partition scheme and I wasn’t asked to fix it, but apparently it was causing an issue on the back-end. I’m expecting they will do an OS upgrade, but also CentOS doesn’t really like providing upgrade paths, so I suspect the job will be to just re-image the VM with a newer CentOS ISO and kickstart file at some point, or they will find a repeatable series of dnf commands that will step the VM from 7 -> SomethingNewer - Jared
Hi Lukas, Great to hear you’re using Atlas :) I’m sorry, we haven’t uploaded the latest repository because we are restructuring a few things internally to streamline our development process. We will upload updated repositories once this has completed, which will include 5070. Can you hold on for a bit longer? Best regards, Michel

Hy Michel! No worries about that, I was just wondering if its as you say a restructuring thing or if the repo moved somewhere else, like Gitlab or a self-hosted git service :) Definitely cool that you are putting some time in improving the process! So sure I can wait, thanks for keeping up that great work!
