Speaking of the enterprise and free features, what does the open core only version provide when compared to the binary releases? Can the core component that has the source code release be used as is alone?

Yeah I saw that option to offer free upgrade for the claimed personal use and that’s nice. It’s also just fine for paying such a product as a whole. I was just frustrated for not being able to try it with a single server.

Reason for Oracle Linux is my Linux journey pretty much started and continued with rhel based distros, be it Mandrake(yeap good old Mandrake) at home at first then actual redhat subscription in the research center I volunteered and mostly centos on my servers as well as fedora as my workstation OS.

After Centos upstream change, I started using Oracle and it’s nice and stable. As far as the explanation on the product page goes I guess anything that looks like rhel (like Rocky) will also ring the enterprise bells.

Thankfully most hobbyists like raspi users will go with Debian based stock OS or use something like Ubuntu server version so they’ll be fine with free version of xpipe.

Thank you for the heads up, i was a dork, it’s indeed fully listed in the table that’s on the pricing page. I’ll quote that part for the context. From the Pricing page :

The following systems are classified as commercial operating systems within XPipe and connections to those systems are only possible starting from the homelab plan:

Amazon Linux systems

Oracle Linux systems

The following systems are classified as enterprise operating systems within XPipe and connections to those systems are only possible starting from the professional plan:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems

SUSE Enterprise Linux systems

Zentyal systems

Windows Enterprise systems

Windows Azure systems

Seemed so nice until I tried to add my very first personal server that has Oracle Linux distro on it and it paywalled me immediately. So if you want it for personal use but you use the wrong(!) distro on your server, tough luck! You gotta pay for it unless you replace your server with something like Debian I guess. That was the end of it for me. As a constructive feedback: it would be nice to see a list of which distro/server os variants are not paywalled, or which ones are paywalled. For now Asbru will do it for me.
