SOLVED Install cPanel for Ubuntu on a new server now, or install CentOS and have the hassle of reinstalling everything again in version 102 in a few weeks?

Hey guys,
After a horrible attempt on a competitor panel (never, ever, ever switch to Webuzo), I will be returning to cPanel (I still have my full backup from 15 days ago) and am thinking of performing a cPanel install on an Ubuntu server.

How most likely full production support for cPanel on Ubuntu will be available in early 2022 (probably in a few weeks), should I already install my cPanel on Ubuntu? Or do I install now on CentOS and when version 102 is released I do the whole procedure again from scratch for Ubuntu?

I have about 40 WordPress installs and about 15 emails in my agency. I'm not sure what to do. I didn't want to have to reset my server, install a new operating system, and then migrate the entire account again in some days. But if I don't have a choice, that's what I would need to do.

My last full backup came from CentOS, I don't know if that would hinder the migration to Ubuntu.

Thanks!

Hello! It might be an annoyance, but it may be best to migrate to the CentOS server and then to Ubuntu. At the very least, you can get migration licenses and use the transfer tool to make the process easier.

Hi @cPanelAnthony
Thanks, that's exactly what I did.

By the way, I performed the migration from my last backup using the transfer tool and it was super fast.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm very happy to hear you got this working.
