Re: [go-cd] GOCD Server 21.2.0 Java version and Agent version mismatch (RHEL 7.6)

Ah yes, it looks like the minimum version has already been updated as of git commit d72a92d53b1406fce1a0c96558b904493bf657ab. My knowledge was outdated: https://github.com/gocd/gocd/blob/56886178e9a4f65f8e7986c4622483d0118d4f73/build.gradle#L162-L163 You should use at least JDK 13 for both server
