Installer just won’t go through and keeps showing:
[ERROR] Your OS is not currently supported by this installer.
[ERROR] You can probably run Virtualmin Professional on your system, anyway,
[ERROR] but you'll have to install it using the manual installation process.
Followed best practices with update/clean etc.
Is CentOS 8 Stream just not support for installer? As I am sure I am running CentOS 8 Stream as OS with virtualmin installed (installed before version 7 VM and also on non stream centos).
I suspect this is because it’s on vmware if that makes any difference, as Centosos 8 Stream with working VM on another machine is on straight up PC desktop.
We do not currently support Stream versions of CentOS (even in the beta Virtualmin 7 installer, though Ilia has done some experiments), and we are not particularly enthusiastic about adding such support.
Search the forums for millions of posts on this topic.
We support Alma and Rocky 8 in the new beta Virtualmin 7 installer. And will support 9 pretty soon. We’ve nowhere said we’d support Stream.
You’ll find Stream works if you upgraded to it, and it may continue to work for some length of time. We make no promises about it continuing to work, and make no assurances about solving any problems that come up.
As a layman on the topic, that is not a good thing in my opinion. I think it’s going to very quickly become worse than Ubuntu is on constantly updating with God only knows what. Too many fingers in too many pies if you ask me.
