SLES 15 SP5

Released back in May, this looks to be stable.

Update is (again) super clean:

zypper migration

select the migration target (i.e. SLES 15 SP5), approve the EULA, wait a while.

I’ve been flagging the ease of upgrade for several years. SUSE have this nailed.

Update: except Redis got a tad confused. Needed to get it re-setup to start correctly.

Update again: openSUSE build server saves the day again: Install package openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP5 / php8-redis along with https://citizix.com/how-to-install-configure-redis-6-on-opensuse-leap-15-3

PHP and SLES

I need to look for a “better” solution to PHP and SLES.

I understand the balancing act between long term support, backporting patches etc – and that’s why SLES has been such a good friend.

I’d just love WordPress and other apps to stop griping about older versions of PHP.

Maintenance night – SLES 12 SP5 updates on Azure.

Nice and easy.
