1 Answers

As of now, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) is the latest long-term support release available. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS has not been officially released yet, so I recommend using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for your DigitalOcean droplet.

Here are the benefits of choosing Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

  1. Stability and Support: LTS versions are supported for five years, ensuring long-term stability and security updates.
  2. Compatibility: Most software and tools, including Docker and Docker Compose, are well-tested and supported on 22.04 LTS.
  3. Community and Documentation: Extensive documentation and a large user community can help resolve issues you might encounter.

So, when creating your DigitalOcean droplet, select Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as your operating system. This will provide a stable and supported environment for deploying Apache Answer.

when does ubuntu 22.04 long term support end?

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) will receive Long Term Support (LTS) for five years from its release date. Since Ubuntu 22.04 LTS was released in April 2022, its support will end in April 2027. This includes security updates and maintenance releases, ensuring a stable and secure operating system for your deployment.
