Hi All,
If you're looking for a relatively simple solution the migration to Rocky linux can be achieved relatively painlessly. We've been kicking the tyres over the past few months and it fits our use case and Centos8 going forward doesn't. This isn't a shot at either Centos, Redhat or IBM its a simple statement of fact given the future direction of Centos.
They have a script for migration and the maintainer is one of the original creators of Centos which provides a degree of assurance in terms of project scope and continuity.
While I like Debian, the body of knowledge associated with Redhat based platforms and relative complexity/fragility of freeIPA would make me think twice before going down this path.
That being said, I would like to see a vibrant Debian freeIPA community however depending upon your use case there may be some issues.
Regards
Ian

It looks like Bullseye doesn't even have the client, if I'm not mistaken? After an upgrade, it's telling me that `freeipa-common` is no longer needed and there's no longer a `freeipa-client` package.
Is there any way to get an idea of what the situation is with this?
Thank you for your update and hard work Timo :)!

Hi,
Short answer:
ipaserver-install fails (Debian bug #970880), but client works. Debian
'bullseye' will be frozen for release next month, so it's likely that it
comes only with the client, just like Ubuntu since 20.04. But miracles
could happen during the holidays..
Long answer:
The server worked fine back in April (with bind 9.11 forced in) when I
set up an Azure pipeline and worked through some kinks there to get
through the tests. Best coverage I got to was around 95% of all tests.
But since then things fell apart and I don't have a working baseline
anymore, and shoving updates on top of others haven't helped.. The
blocker bug is somewhere between Certmonger, Dogtag CA, Tomcat, and TLS.
We'll see how long it still takes until the bug is found and fixed..
