I've been running a hosting server on CentOS 7 for quite some time now, and it's been an excellent foundation for my server needs. However, as CentOS 7 is approaching its end-of-life, and with the shifting dynamics in the CentOS ecosystem, I find myself at a pivotal decision point regarding the most suitable upgrade path for my server.
The discontinuation of CentOS 8 and the introduction of CentOS Stream have introduced a new set of considerations. Additionally, the emergence of RHEL-focused distributions like Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux offers potential new avenues. Each of these options brings its own set of features, support expectations, and community backing, making the decision far from straightforward.
Given the critical nature of my hosting server's stability, security, and compatibility with future software developments, I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for your perspectives:
What are your thoughts on CentOS Stream for a hosting server environment? Have you migrated to CentOS Stream from CentOS 7, and if so, what has been your experience, especially regarding stability and support?
