Should I try to install mailman3 on Kubuntu 20.04?
I have been a happy camper running mailman3 on a vps I rent from a vendor, running CentOS 7. CentOS 7 is past end of life, so I moving over to a new machine running Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. I have been searching the intertubes and have seen a bunch of people having headaches trying it. So...
Is Ubuntu 20.04 cool with mailman3? Should I go ahead and give it a shot or use a different distro?
Should I do the apt install, the virtualenv install, or try the docker install?
thanks

Ubuntu 20.04 will be end-of-life, from a standard perspective, in a year. If you possibly can, prefer to install on the latest version which is Ubuntu 24.04.
Another option is upgrading the original server to 22.04. And then, 24.04. Upgrade procedures usually go fine.

This is absolutely the recommended method of installation.
As for Ubuntu / Kubuntu 20.04, I think it should work, but am not familiar with the shipped version of Python vs the required version when installing in venv.
Fortunately, with the venv method, you can give it a try and in the unlikely event something doesn't work, it's easy to reset and start over.
My bad. I meant 24.04 LTS. Have folk had good success with Ubuntu 24.04 and mailman3?

Yes, this works well using the virtualenv install procedure at https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html
The people who have trouble are mostly those trying to install the Debian/Ubuntu packages via apt.

Thanks. I'll get started on it tomorrow.
