I suspect a lot of web hosting companies use CentOS. The outfit I was with in Florida sure did. No doubt there’s going to be a scramble to get Rocky Linux or equivalent going quickly.
I am now hosting my weewx website on a VPS now using Ubuntu and Apache. That way I have full control and don’t have to pay a fortune for someone else to do it. It cost me $50 USD for the TLS certificate alone! Now I get my own and install it for free. I used to use Fedora, but it’s really a beta version for RedHat and I got tired of the incessant bug fixes and updates. CentOS was a great solution as it was familiar and mature. Anyway, I guess this is not really weewx related. - Paul VE1DX > On Jan 3, 2021, at 6:20 PM, Mark Jenks <mjenks1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I use CentOS for everything, except my home server.
