As FileWave continues to develop our industry-leading multi-platform solution, our primary goal is to make it as simple, stable, and scalable as possible. With the End of Life of CentOS on June 30th 2024, beginning with 15.2.0, the FileWave Server will be shipped for Debian Linux and macOS. Although we will produce FileWave Server for CentOS 7 with 15.2, 15.3, and 15.4, we will be looking to not continue to produce CentOS installers for Server or Boosters after the June 30th EOL date.

We are pleased to announce that all Hosted FileWave Servers will be moved to Debian the week of June 10th, 2024 in the normal maintenance windows.

The “Center Stage” Discord voice channel will be hosting a session on reviewing best practices for using and maintaining a FileWave server. This session will be particularly helpful for administrators who have recently inherited responsibility for a FileWave server and may not be fully familiar with all aspects of its care. During the session, we will cover topics such as: * Regularly checking for software updates and applying them to the server * Tips for efficiently organizing and managing your filesets * Strategies for monitoring the server’s performance and troubleshooting any issues * Best practice for keeping backup of the Filewave server * Discuss about Importance of Security and how to maintain We will also have a Q&A at the end of the session, where participants can ask questions about using and maintaining their FileWave server. It’s an open session. Anyone using or planning to use FileWave is welcome to join the discussion and benefit from the knowledge shared. Please note that this event will take place in Discord and there is helpful information about getting started here: https://go.filewave.com/discord ( https://go.filewave.com/discord )

Join us for a quick status update on where we are with CentOS -> Debian and to be able to ask questions if you haven’t taken a look yet. This will be an informal review of the state of our Debian use and I’ll repeat this several times in the coming weeks. Feel free to join any or all sessions. If you are an on-premise customer then this may be for you. Hosted customers will find the Boosters and IVS server relevant.
