Unsupported modules after fresh install

[andretux]

Hi,
Today I installed Acquia Lightning with composer on my own server. I used Postgres database as MySQL did not work (It kept on jumping back to install.php after installation)
After successful installation, I went to the Reports -> Status report menu and it indicates that there was 1 Error and 1 Warning.
The warning is due to the Media Library Experimental module

The error indicated that there is at least one module that is unsupported. So I clicked on the "Unsupported release" link in the error message.
It took me to the Update page and listed 3 modules:

• Media entity Instagram : installed version 8.x-2.0-alpha2, Recommended version 8.x-2.0
• Media entity Twitter : installed version 8.x-2.0-alpha3, Recommended version 8.x-2.1
• Simple OAuth (Unsupported) : Installed version 8.x-3.16, Recommended version 8.x-4.3

So I installed the updates and the system broke, complaining about missing classes. Seemed the Simple OAuth had problems (It did warn that the new version might not be backward compatible.)

So I removed it via composer and installed it again. Solved that issue.

But then Media entity instagram complained about a missing class when I go to the Status report. I tried to remove it and install it again, but that did not work.

Eventually, I dropped my database and started from scratch.

So now I have the installation working, but with these errors and the 3 modules that is listed to be updated.

Should I just leave them and when will I know to update them. Or should I only do updates via composer?

Thanks

Hi Andre, updates should be handled only via Composer. Lightning has constraints to ensure that incompatible modules are not installed.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the status page thinks -- Drupal core can be somewhat strict about that, but there is quite a bit more leeway in the real world. We do update modules in Lightning as often as possible; sometimes we will keep an old version around due to incompatibilities with other modules Lightning ships, which annoys the status page, but at least doesn't break your site.
