How to install mcrypt on CentOS 7.6? Question Question

Question

When will a CentOS 8 image be available for deployment on DigitalOcean Droplets?

CentOS

Hi,

So I’m currently running CentOS 7 on my production Droplet, and I would like to create a CentOS 8 Droplet ASAP for testing purposes. When creating a new Droplet at any location, the CentOS 8 image is NOT available (I only see CentOS 7.6).

Thank you.

Vultr has has CentOS 8 for at least a month now. I can’t see how they’ve been able to figure out how to deploy it in production but DO hasn’t :-/

Seems like they don’t care for us paying customers…Debian & Ubuntu get more support than an Enterprise-grade OS…

…What a place this is

It appears that CentOS 8 cloud images have finally shown up on centos.org. https://cloud.centos.org/centos/

Hello, @janvitos

There was already such a discussion in this community question:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/since-centos-8-is-released-when-we-can-expect-digitalocean-image-for-droplets

I will quote the reply from @sjmacjunkie
“I opened a support ticket and they said pending CentOS releasing a cloud image for CentOS 8”

I hope it helps.
