Possible support for GLIBC_2.24

[upc-djw]

Hi,
Would it be possible to support GLIBC_2.24 for XySat? I would like to use XySat on a legacy Debian 9 system but it only has GLIBC 2.24 on it.

Thanks,

Yup, here you go → https://github.com/pixlcore/xysat-legacy

Thank you very much! Is it possible to just use the legacy xySat for 1-2 Linux x64 hosts while using the newer xySat for newer Linux x64 hosts that support it?

So sorry, that is not possible. It's a single global setting for your entire xyOps fleet.

But don't worry, xysat-legacy is not limited in any way, other than it includes a special "unofficial" Node.js v22 runtime that is compiled for older GLIBC compatibility.

It has 100% feature parity, version parity, and automatically mirrors every xySat release.

There's no reason you cannot just use xysat-legacy across all your servers.

Ah gotcha, thank you very much. Would I need to do anything to switch the existing Linux x64 servers that have the current xySat to the Legacy version after the change is made? Or will they just start downloading the appropriate version for future updates?

Thanks so much for all of your help! :)

No change needed. They'll just get xysat-legacy on the next upgrade.
