I’ve ensured I’m using a newer version, and I updated the ghost installer but the system keeps setting the v22 version every time.

nvm use v24.18.0
npm install -g ghost-cli@latest

Both ran as the account, not root.

Installed ghost from Web Apps and get a failure:

End of the road for Ghost on EL8. Requires gcc10+ for node-gyp compilation, which is available on EL9 and above.

That’s fair. If I’m going to do a migration, should I go Rocky or Alma for 10?
It’s been a while since I’ve seen discussion on which is preferred and I’m unsure how they’ve diverged at this point.

Rocky 10. Kernel and systemd are two vital components where the more engineers on it the better.
