planning for updated EMF server

[cseppan]

Upgrading from RHEL7 to RHEL8, need to check which versions are in use on current server

Need to determine versions of supporting tools to install:

Java runtime

• looks like 8, 11, and 17 are RedHat's distributions

Apache Tomcat

• latest release version 10.1.x, supports Java 11 and later
• not part of RedHat's package distribution, gets installed manually

PostgreSQL

• latest version 15

PostGIS (needed for SurrogateToolsDB)

• version depends on Postgres, https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS

Current server:

RHEL 7.9 OpenJDK 11.0.18 Apache Tomcat 9.0.29 PostgreSQL 12.14 PostGIS 2.5.5

Suggested target versions for new server:

OpenJDK 17 LTS Tomcat 10.x (current release is 10.1.8) PostgreSQL 15 PostGIS 3.3

Final installed versions:

OpenJDK 17.0.12 Tomcat 9.0.91 PostgreSQL 16.4 PostGIS 3.4.2
