Hi,
When installing openSUSE (any flavour), the installer offers a choice between the "server" and "transactional server" roles, among others.
If I choose to install a "server" system, is there a (supported) procedure by which I can later convert it into a "transactional server"?
It's all the same Linux under the hood. I haven't looked at what the differences are, but you can start with an install of whatever you like and add any additional packages and configs needed to change the role.
I'm guessing but the difference is likely database packages. I'll have to check what a "transactional server" install is. After using SuSE/openSUSE for the better part of 20 years, I'm not sure I've ever seen the "transactional server" option.
It is a very different concept. https://medium.com/@lwinmaungmaung/opensuse-transactional-server-5-minute-re... "The main feature of transactional server is never touch the running system. In earlier versions, we can configure whatever we want, we can configure the installation of packages, configuring library files and even manage the mount path in system whatever we want. In transactional server system, the key is never touch the running system. If you want to do anything such as install application, do on snapshot. The works are making on snapshots and do everything on snapshot. That’s it. really simple." https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/eqgb6n/opensuse_transactional_ser... https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2018-04/msg00648.html What is...? https://kubic.opensuse.org/ https://kubic.opensuse.org/blog/2018-04-20-transactionalupdates2/ - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
