From b5f4030cd0d8462ae38c35a08b8b9680a4ca7157 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Slavi Pantaleev Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2024 15:50:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Update supported distros list I've just tested Rocky Linux v9 and it seems to work. I suppose the Docker situation (https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/issues/300) on RHEL v8 has improved, so it probably works too. I see no reason AlmaLinux and other RHEL derivatives wouldn't work, but I have neither tested them, nor have confirmation from others about it. It's mostly a matter of us being able to install: - Docker, via https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-docker which seems to support various distros - a few other packages (systemd-timesyncd, etc). The list of supported distros has been reordered alphabetically. I've heard reports of SUSE Linux working well too, so it may also be added if confirmed again.
