❓ If one were choosing a linux distribution to run meltano with airflow would there be a certain distro you would choose? Would CentOS work well?

I'd go with whatever https://hub.docker.com/r/meltano/meltano chose 🙂 But that does go deep, I got to https://hub.docker.com/layers/buildpack-deps/library/buildpack-deps before stopping my manual search for which distro. CentOS recently had support dropped I believe? I've stayed away since then, Ubuntu has been my goto since

Thanks for mentioning the lack of support for CentOS. I will give Ubuntu a go.

Confirmed Ubuntu is a great way to go. It seems many CI platforms use Ubuntu as their go-to these days, and it's the Linux OS I generally use most, primarily for the breadth of online examples and community support.

fwiw - its not so much that CentOS had support dropped as that its release model changed from long term to more bleeding edge (sorta similar to Fedora or non-LTS Ubuntu)

Thanks for helping to clear up the FUD I just threw out 😄
