Do I need to upgrade the CentOS operating system version as well?

Shawn Quinn

I'm new to the systems admin tasks associated with my university's instance of Confluence. I've read through the release notes, but it's not clear to me whether I need to upgrade CentOS first before doing the Confluence upgrades or whether the CentOS ' supporting OS is also included automatically in the product, such that the upgrade includes both the OS and the Confluence product along with it?

This clarification would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Shawn

According to the supported platforms page, Linux distributions and versions are pretty broad. The only time I would see about upgrading the OS would be if you need to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit.

What is the current version of CentOS and Confluence you have now?

The Linux version is CentOS6.10 ; the confluence version is 6.15.4

We have to upgrade the operating system because of security concerns regarding the older versions of CentOS. My institution is undecided about which version of Linux to use going forward because of the recent announcements about CentOS. (They want to pick a new 'standard' that all of our groups would then have to use)

So ...seeing as CentOS is end of life, and Confluence on-prem not being supported for much longer, it's not clear what to upgrade to and whether I'll be able to get support for migrating my database to another OS such as Ubuntu. We're not ready to move to the cloud yet because the instance we have has too much old gunk in it, like old user accounts , etc that will take a long time to sort through. And I don't think we have the budget either for taking on new monthly recurring costs.

On that topic, hopefully you can link me the most appropriate support and how-to pages for this project.

If you have to stay on Confluence server for a long while, I would recommend upgrading Confluence first so you have a better migration path to Cloud. Detailed upgrade guide is here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/upgrading-confluence-4578.html

Hope this helps
