Feature Request

CentOS 8 has been declared the last downstream release that will be supported until December 2021.
Could octopus be bulit upon centos7?

Are there any similar features already existing:

What should the feature do:
Support centos7 based Octopus image

What would be solved through this feature:

Does this have an impact on existing features:

Environment:

  • OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):
  • Kernel (e.g. uname -a):
  • Docker version (e.g. docker version):
  • Ceph version (e.g. ceph -v):

CentOS 7 is not fully supported with Octopus due to missing python3 dependencies.

The decision hasn't been made yet but I think there's more chance to switch to either CentOS stream or UBI 8 container images rather than using CentOS 7 unless alternative like AlmaLinux or RockyLinux are available.

It seems a discussion is ongoing related to continued centos8 support. Any tentative date with a decision made?
Is it possible to pulling python3 dependencies to build centos7 based image?
