Is Centos Server OS - supported for JIRA & Confluence

[AbrahamA]

Hi All

I see at the following documentation that Linux/Solaris is supported

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA044/Supported+Platforms

I do not know if Centos is supported.

Please let me know.

Thanks

Abraham

Centos is Linux, and hence yes, it's supported

To be a bit more clear, Centos is a Linux distribution, of which there are now thousands. I wouldn't be surprised if Atlassian were to go into a bit more detail and refuse to support the more obscure ones. (Heck, I've made my own distribution, I wouldn't expect them to support that at all, as it's only running on 2 computers). But even then, Centos would be really high on their list. The "biggest" distributions are Ubuntu and Red Hat (Red Hat is preferred by corporations and for server based work, Ubuntu is generally aimed slightly more at end users). Centos and Fedora are the closest you can get to Red Hat without being Red Hat. So it's very well supported.

My current client runs Red Hat for all it's production servers (and their website is large and heavily used), and we use Centos as a development base. We've never had "it runs on Centos, but does something different on Red Hat"

Thanks Nic. I guess I will go the Centos.

So if I get into any issues with JIRA, I hope Atlassian support will support it. Do not want to be surprised if they say we did not write anywhere that we support Centos.

I know Atlassian support rocks ...

BTW what is the best performing combination JIRA+RedHat / JIRA + UBuntu / JIRA+Windows

Hi Abe and Nic,

Just to clarify the situation (and as you correctly deduced Nic), we do support CentOS. In fact, it's the flavour of Linux we use to test the JIRA installer on:

I've clarified this on our Supported Platforms page.

Cheers,

Giles.
