Possibility for Almalinux

Henrik Lynbech

It would be nice to have Almalinux as a droplet creation option. I have tried setting up a custom image but go lost in the technicalities.

Add me to the list of DO customers who want an AlmaLinux droplet option. RHEL 8.5 came out yesterday and AlmaLinux 8.5 is out today. How long will it be before Rocky Linux 8.5 comes out? My guess is at least a week... but probably more. We shall see.

What I'm doing right now... is making a CentOS 8 Droplet, migrating it to Alma, and then making a snapshot of it... and then using that snapshot to make Droplets from. Kind of a dumb way to do it... but it works.

Agreed, Linode already has this as an option, and it is limmitng us fully transfering to DO

It would be great if they added it themselves but for now you can use this: https://github.com/AlmaLinux/cloud-images/releases
