Open Microscopy Environment

Hi all,

I'm finally upgrading our tired Centos 6 server to something more up to date and my other servers all run Ubuntu 14.04. I'm considering Ubuntu 16.04 but noticed that it is not on the official supported list yet. Should I be more conservative and do 14.04 or is there nothing really that is likely to cause trouble with 16.04?
I noticed I would need to install pgsql 9.4 but that should be fairly straightforward.

Thanks,
- Damir

Dear Damir

We have not updated the list yet.

I have installed and ran OMERO on Ubuntu 16.04 without any problems

The instructions to install the various dependencies (including pgsql 9.4) for Ubuntu 14.04 should still work
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... ice36.html

Ice 3.6 will be the recommended version in the next release
so you should probably opt for ice 3.6 so you won't have to re-install ice when upgrading your omero server

Dear Jmarie,

Thanks for the response and we'll go ahead with 16.04 and report what we find.
Were you able to use nginx 1.10 (default on 16.04) or did you have to downgrade to 1.8?
Yes, I was indeed planning to go with Ice 3.6.

Cheers,

Hi Damir

I used the "default" nginx on Ubuntu 16.04 i.e.

Code: Select all

nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.10.1


So hopefully everything will go smoothly
