However, I’d like to see the remarkably useful Cockpit administration dashboard installed by default on Workstation edition as well. There isn’t much going on here beyond what you’d expect to see. Unsurprisingly, Fedora Workstation installs GNOME and a complete desktop environment whereas Server Edition installs a base-system and headless management tools such as the Cockpit server administration web interface. Packages that are installed in both editions have been excluded to highlight the differences: Fedora Server Edition The following overview shows packages that are unique to the defaults of each edition. The Server installer or any network-installer image will let users select from more groups and customize their installations. Fedora Server Edition installer will install the server-product-environment package group by default, and Fedora Workstation will install the workstation-product-environment group. The most significant difference between the two editions is, of course, the selection of default packages. Most notably is the differences in the default firewall configurations.įedora Workstation will reject any incoming TCP/ UDP connection below port 1024 (privileged ports) except to ports TCP/22 ( SSH), UDP/137+138 (Samba), and UDP/546 (DHCPv6 client) but otherwise allow TCP and UDP connections.įedora Server Edition will reject any incoming TCP/ UDP connection except to ports TCP/22 ( SSH), UDP/546 (DHCPv6 client), and TCP/9090 (Cockpit). There are some services that are configured differently between the two editions. Server Edition explicitly overrides the default and sets XFS as the root file system. Fedora Workstation does the same, but uses the Ext4 file system for its root instead of XFS.įedora Workstation will create an additional Ext4-formatted /home partition out of the remaining disk sizes assuming the disk has at least 51 + swap GiB available.įedora Workstation defers the file system selection for all partitions to the default of the blivet partitioning tool. Both editions will also create a swap partition (storage-backed memory) based on the available system memory.įedora Server Edition creates an XFS-formatted / root partition up to 50 GiB in size. Default partitioningįedora Workstation and Server Edition will create a 1 GiB Ext4-formatted /boot partition, plus an UEFI partition if needed. The primary differences are found in the default storage media partitioning and the selection of programs and packages that are installed by default. However, what exactly are the differences between the two editions?įedora Workstation and Server Edition are shipped with slightly different defaults. Obviously, Fedora Workstation is intended for use on workstations and Fedora Server Edition is intended for servers.
