Supported Linux

Pigsty compatible Linux OS distribution major versions and CPU architectures

Reference

Pigsty runs on Linux, supporting amd64/x86_64 and arm64/aarch64 arch, plus 3 major distros: EL, Debian, Ubuntu.

Pigsty runs bare-metal without containers. Supports actively maintained mainstream releases across the 3 major distro families and both archs.

Overview

Recommended OS versions: Rocky Linux 9.8 / 10.2, Debian 12.15 / 13.6, Ubuntu 22.04.5 / 24.04.4 / 26.04.0.

These seven minor releases are the current validation baselines. The extension repository retains dual-architecture EL8 compatibility, so the complete package matrix covers 16 Linux platforms. EL8 is in its retirement transition and is no longer a recommended deployment baseline.

EL

Pigsty supports RHEL / Rocky / Alma / Anolis / CentOS 8, 9, 10.

EL Distro	Arch	OS Code
RHEL10 / Rocky10 / Alma10	x86_64	`el10.x86_64`

RHEL7 / CentOS7	aarch64	-

Rocky Linux 9.8 / 10.2 Recommended

Rocky Linux 9.8 / 10.2 balances stability and fresh software. Recommended for EL users.

EL8 EOL Soon

EL8 goes EOL in 2029. Plan upgrade ASAP. EL10 support is ready, EL8 will be dropped in next release.
