Re: Documentation Refactor - Ceph OS Recommendations are out-of-date (Bug #5)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The only place in the user-facing docs I can see that mentions Fedora 22 is here:

https://docs.ceph.com/docs/jewel/start/os-recommendations/

This page explains that jewel can run on Fedora 22 and higher. I don't think that this should be changed, because it refers to jewel (which is past EOL) and is of historical interest.

Is there anywhere else on the website that mentions Fedora in a way that makes the site look decrepit?

Could we also get an updated Fedora-based recommendation? It's kind of
depressing to see Fedora 22 still mentioned on the website.

I personally run Ceph on Fedora rather than CentOS, and pretty much
all the guidelines for CentOS 8 would apply to a recent Fedora
version.
