Rocky Linux for Openstack
Good day , Please I want to know when will openstack provide information on how to installation of openstack on Rocky Linux be available. Thanks & Regards
Rocky Linux claims to be 100% compatible with Red Hat's OS family [1], so I don't see any reason why you couldn't use RPMs from RDO: https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/environment-packages-rdo.html#enabl...

I wonder if there would be some compatibility problems with using RDO on a RHEL compatible OS. If RDO is built against CentOS Stream [1], could it potentially have some dependencies on python packages which are due to be released in the next RHEL minor update (since Stream is on the latest version) ?

I feel the same. I guess Rocky Linux would need to come up with their own OpenStack release process. Or, perhaps, collaborate with RDO so that it supports both distros. ;-) -yoctozepto
I agree with you. That's what I was thinking too. On Tue, May 4, 2021, 10:53 Radosław Piliszek <radoslaw.piliszek@gmail.com> wrote:

RDO is providing both packages and deliverables that can be used to rebuild

We don't plan to support both distros but we are open to collaborate with anyone willing to work on it.

Generally RDO isn't specifying a version when building packages so it's likely to be compatible. CentOS Stream will just have things that'll show up in the next version of Rocky Linux. For stable releases it's likely to just be compatible, whereas master might run into issues if new base os dependencies get added.

In theory the RDO instructions should work but as mentioned there may be libraries or other packages where the versions on the Operating System level may vary and causee an issue. Rocky Linux can work with the Docs SiG if someone would like to provide instructions specifically for installing OpenStack on Rocky Linux and if they would like to contribute beyond that, including testing on that platform, the RPM Packaging SiG might be the right place to start those conversations. RDO meets Wednesdays at 14:00 UTC in the #RDO channel on Freenode just add an agenda item[0] if you'd like to learn more on that front.

Yes, that may happen and it's happening. i.e. we've had that situation
with python-rtslib has been updated in CentOS Stream 8 to the minimal version required by cinder [1] but not yet in CentOS Linux 8. That means that, current cinder in master is installable in CentOS Stream 8 but will need to wait for CentOS Linux 8.4. Similar will happen with CentOS Stream vs Rocky Linux. RDO Victoria, Ussuri and Train currently support both CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream 8, so those should run fine on Rocky Linux.

likely to be compatible. CentOS Stream will just have things that'll show up in the next version of Rocky Linux. For stable releases it's likely to just be compatible, whereas master might run into issues if new base os dependencies get added.
