Sysbox-EE Distro Compatibility

Contents

Supported Linux Distros

The following table summarizes the supported Linux distros, the installation methods supported, and any other requirements:

Distro / Release Package Install K8s Install Kernel Upgrade Other
Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) ✓ ✓ Maybe
Ubuntu Focal (20.04) ✓ ✓ No
Debian Buster (10) ✓ Yes
Debian Bullseye (11) ✓ No
Flatcar N/A No More details here

NOTES:

  • "Package install" means a Sysbox-EE package is available for that distro. See here for more.

  • "K8s-install" means you can deploy Sysbox-EE on a Kubernetes worker node based on that distro. See here for more.

  • "Kernel upgrade" means a kernel upgrade may be required (Sysbox-EE requires a fairly recent kernel). See below for more.

Kernel Upgrade Procedures

Ubuntu Kernel Upgrade

If you have a relatively old Ubuntu 18.04 release (e.g. 18.04.3), you need to upgrade the kernel to >= 5.0.

We recommend using Ubuntu's LTS-enablement package to do the upgrade as follows:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 -y

$ sudo shutdown -r now

Debian Kernel Upgrade

This one is only required when running Debian Buster.

$ # Allow debian-backports utilization ...

$ echo deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.list

$ sudo apt update

$ sudo apt install -t buster-backports linux-image-amd64

$ sudo shutdown -r now
