VirtualMin Debian 13 or Alma 10

There appears to be a discrepancy between the Virtualmin website and the information published on GitHub regarding supported Grade A systems.

According to GitHub, the following operating systems are listed as Grade A:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives

  • AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux 8, 9, and 10 on x86_64 and aarch64
  • RHEL 8, 9, and 10 on x86_64 and aarch64

Debian Linux and derivatives

  • Debian 11, 12, and 13 on i386, amd64, and arm64
  • Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and 24.04 on i386, amd64, and arm64

However, the Virtualmin website currently lists support for:

  • Debian 11 and 12 on i386 and amd64
  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS on i386 and amd64
  • Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and RHEL 8 and 9 on x86_64

Could you clarify whether the additional versions and architectures listed on GitHub are already officially supported and the Virtualmin website has not yet been fully updated, or if there is another explanation for this mismatch?

Without hunting it down on GitHub, are you sure that doesn’t refer to the upcoming release? The default is ‘master’ which I think is development version.

I just looked on GitHub and I believe it is for V 8.0.4 (not yet released)

https://github.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-install

So, if I’m not completely off base, the master branch of virtualmin-install is 8.0.4, and Debian 13 is listed as the grade A system.
However, as far as I know, the admins announced shortly before the turn of the year that version 8 was in the starting blocks. I haven’t yet received any information that version 8 has already been officially released.

It has not been officially released as far as I know

As it goes from 7 → 8 I’m guessing they are finding things that need some attention.

I agree with you. In principle, there is currently no need to upgrade to 8. It’s definitely too early for my production system :slightly_smiling_face:

@chillmaster
I would also wait for a 8.1 or 8.2 after official release
I do that for all tools I use in production

Virtualmin 8 is due this year.

@Randomz
Yes it is but not officially released yet

“is due this year” kind of implies that it isn’t released yet.
Or should I sue my English teacher? :slight_smile:

I would sue :grin:
