What is the prefered Linux server for IGEL ICG?


Out of the listed Linux flavors for ICG server, is there any one in particular that is preferred, or most commonly deployed for this purpose?

Mainly Debian, then Ubuntu I would say. My own personal preference is CentOS (but not officially supported🙃)


Thank you. I have to stand up a new ICG (I upgraded to 2.x from the 1.x appliance and am having issues), and wish there was an appliance, but I’m sure I’ll manage getting a Linux VM up with some Googling if needed.


I liked headless ubuntu


@member upgrading from 1.x to 2.x isn’t supported kb.igel.com/igelicg-2.01/en/updating-the-icg-19181712.html

Setup a new VM (see picture).

The appliance is no longer maintained as well. Just install a Linux VM like that kb.igel.com/igelicg-2.01/en/preparing-the-linux-machine-19181657.html

@member me too. I use Ubuntu Server – just include the OpenSSH server during installation 🙂


Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be installing a new ICG VM soon-ish. Still reviewing notes on ensuring a seamless transition for our remote devices
