This release includes a series of updates we know many of you have been waiting for. With RunCloud Monitoring, it’s never been easier to monitor the storage breakdown of your servers – based on web apps, databases, log files, and more.
And that’s not all! This update to Monitoring also introduces web application monitoring – including Slow Script Monitoring, IP Address Hit Monitoring, and Top Path Monitoring:
Earlier today, we also announced that support for Ubuntu 24.04 was released to production, so you can now choose it as your operating system image when you deploy new servers with RunCloud.
Note: Ubuntu 24.04 is currently only supported on NGINX servers. It is not yet available on OpenLiteSpeed servers.
Please make sure you have a backup or snapshot of your server before proceeding. We do not recommend directly updating servers that are running production workloads.
The safest migration path is to deploy a new server and migrate web applications and databases over to the fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04. We are unable to support migrations of live production workloads.
Posting this as a new reply to this thread instead of just updating the original message. As with every new significant Ubuntu release in the past:
Please make sure that you have a backup or snapshot of your server available before proceeding. And even in these cases, we do not recommend directly upgrading servers that are running production workloads.
The safest migration path is to deploy a new server and migrate web applications and databases over to the fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04.
Important: We do not offer support for migrations of live production workloads or debug issues that occur as a result (since many issues are heavily specific to a certain setup or web application).
I installed 24 on a fresh server to test a few low-importance sites several days ago. Sites themselves are fine, but I’m getting SSH and SFTP issues now and can’t connect. Both SSH And SFTP were working initially, but at some point within the past couple of days something changed. Not really worth my time to troubleshoot at this point. I’m going to wipe the server and move back to 22.04 until the 24.04 & RC combo has had a chance to mature and work out some issues.
This is what Athul from RC support told me 9 days ago:
As of now, there’s we’ll not be able to give you an exact date for the release.
However, if we do not face any issues, our users should be able to use OLS on Ubuntu 24.04 within a few months. I hope you understand.
@justin Indeed, it was wrong of me to confirm next week as a more firm deadline.
My choice of wording was poor. This is subject to change, which I did try to emphasize with the use of “current/expected” in my reply. The support team intentionally didn’t share that timeline & still won’t if someone were to ask now (as I also shouldn’t have since it was still only an internal timeline).
Of course, as I think everyone would expect from our product & engineering team, we won’t release it into production if there are valid reasons to hold off longer.
Hi,
How can we find out when OLS is available for Ubuntu 24.04? Blog? Email? Community forum?
I’m waiting to rent a new server for a client and I’d like to do it as soon as possible when OLS is available.
It was scheduled for this week but we are still finding conflicting elements which we are discussing with the OLS team and fixing. If everything works, expect the release next week.
We first share all the new releases in our changelog followed by the Community post if needed. We reserve Emails for something major or urgent.
