Supported Operating Systems
Fully supported Operating Systems
Fully supported Operating Systems are systems that we frequently build packages for and test on our servers.

Supporting Debian-based systems without systemd
It is possible to use Rudder on platforms without systemd, but systemd is required by the package when the distribution supports it. Please contact Rudder team if you want a package without systemd on a distribution where systemd has been removed. |
Partially supported Operating Systems
Partially supported Operating Systems are systems that we have built packages for and tested at least once (in some cases, many more times) but that are not currently receiving continuous attention or bug fixes.

Partially supported Operating Systems
It is possible to use Rudder on other platforms than the fully supported ones. However, some Techniques may not work properly. If you wish to get Rudder support on those systems, please get in touch with us! |
For Rudder Nodes
The following operating systems have had an agent built using Building the Rudder Agent:
-
FreeBSD
-
Solaris 10 and 11
-
OpenSUSE
|
Building an agent from source
You can also follow the build instructions to build and install Rudder Agent locally on your favorite operating system. Even if this OS has not been tested by us, there is a reasonable chance that the agent will work successfully. |
