Hi Benson,
Yes, i've successfully installed CentOs 7, take a look at this link https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCK64_Software_Release#CentOS-7_Community_Build_Image_.5BmicroSD_Boot.5D

But CentOs 7 does not support PHP 7x for aarch64: i need to install nextcloud.... and PHP 7+ is required.

So, i've tried CentOs 8 stream too...but no luck....

Fedora 31 does support Rock64, as release notes says....so the question is simple: how to install Fedora 31 on rock64?

Should be simple, in theory.....

Many thanks.
Cheers,
Agharta

Hi Agharta,

a) If using a Fedora laptop/desktop, have you tried the ARM image installer:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Installation

A number of Pine64 boards are supported, but you might use as a bass to get something for rock64

b) The CentOS7 version you are using seems to use a kernel from Armbian. Maybe something similar (ARMRHEL) is needed for RHEL based distributions? At the moment the contributions seem to be haphazard, and driven by immediate needs rather than a long term vision. Perhaps an ARM roadmap for RHEL would be helpful in organizing development?

c) I have complied PHP 7 from source using GNU compilers. This was straight forward, so might be the way to go if you only need Nextcloud and do not need to many PHP extensions. When you need to update, just copy over the data directory in your Nextcloud installation.

Hi Agharta,

Have you tried any other linux distributions (ideally rpm based)?

Benson
