    Not that I always need the newest OS but live kernel patching included in 18.04 LTS sounds very nice for my home server....

      Probably not immediately but we definitely will at some point (maybe 2-3 months from now). I imagine we will support 16.04 and 18.04 in parallel for a few years atleast. My understanding is LTS will get support till April 2021.

              What's happening with 18.04 --- 5 months down the line from first mention?

              Trust that this isn't a bad omen, regarding two-man setups on which we are dependent!

                We are aware of the Ubuntu LTS schedules, but currently don't see an immediate need or advantage to update just now. Once we do, we will push the update. Please note, that we do update packages like docker as we need anyways even if not shipped with 16.04 in the versions Cloudron requires.

                  @nebulon The above graph depicts Hardware updates for 16.04 as now ended. Does this affect Cloudron installations on home servers (vis-a-vis VPS)?

                    Cloudron doesn't actually use much on the base OS as such since node.js, docker etc are all versioned by Cloudron itself and we don't use the ubuntu package manager.

                    I just tested it on 18.04 and Cloudron works with minimal changes, we will add this to our next release (hopefully it gets through our CI as well..).

                      I saw 18.04 support planned for Cloudron 3.3.0 over at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/blob/master/CHANGES#L1380

                      [3.3.0]

                      • Use new addons with REST APIs
                      • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS support

                      For users with their own server at home: Does that mean that Cloudron will update the Ubuntu installation automatically (a "dist-upgrade") or do we do that on our own when it's implemented?

                        @necrevistonnezr Still evaluating what is the best option to update existing installations. Most likely we won't do dist-upgrade automatically. Also, new installations will default to 18.04.
