Supported Linux distros

  • 1.  Supported Linux distros

    I know the manual says that these are supported:

    <g class="gr_ gr_23 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim gr_inline_cards ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="23" data-gr-id="23">amzn</g>, centos, <g class="gr_ gr_24 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim gr_inline_cards ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="24" data-gr-id="24">debian</g>, fedora, <g class="gr_ gr_25 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim gr_inline_cards ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="25" data-gr-id="25">rhel</g>, ubuntu

    Oracle Enterprise Linux is basically rebranded <g class="gr_ gr_47 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim gr_inline_cards ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="47" data-gr-id="47">rhel</g>. In fact, OEL can use the same repose and when doing a cat /etc/*-release you also get Red Hat.

    Would Jama work on Oracle Enterprise Linux then?

    Hi James,

    Great question. We derive our supported Linux environments from what Docker supports. Recently Docker updated their offering to include a Community Edition and Enterprise Edition. We will continue to use what is now the Community Edition, and it does not support Oracle Linux. Will it work? Probably, for those reasons you mention. However, it is not a supported environment for Docker CE, so it would go untested. This all considered, I would not install Jama on an Oracle Linux environment. It may work but we will be unable to offer full support.

    That's an illuminating response, Kristina.  I logged in to research a different topic entirely but this one caught my eye!

    Do you mean to be specific about this rule of thumb applying just to Linux environments?  Looks like Docker CE runs in Windows 10 and cloud environments now - can I infer that Jama supports implementations based on those platforms?  That as long as Docker CE is running, the platform is fully supported?

    I ask because my organization is a Windows shop with no plans to support Linux and we're looking into our options. Docker's expansion to additional platform is promising for us.

    Hi Andrew,

    Unfortunately, yes, this rule here is that we're speaking of Linux environments only. We are not at a point where we would consider Windows server compatible with Jama. Docker only very recently started supporting Windows, and we don't have any plans to add more testing environments to our regressions. This is not me saying "never," but I don't see it happening in the near-term, if at all. I am sorry for getting your hopes up!

    Thanks so much!

    I am guessing Red Hat then.

    Thanks again!
