Welcome to the openSUSE Leap Micro portal! Edit
Leap Micro logo

Leap Micro is an ultra-reliable, lightweight operating system built for containerized and virtualized workloads. This community version is based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro, which leverages the enterprise-hardened security and compliance components of SUSE Linux Enterprise. This merging of technologies provides for a modern, immutable, and developer-friendly OS platform.

It has a twice a year release cadence and will receive updates for over two releases.

You can get up to 4 years of support for individual release after migration to SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro. Otherwise you'll have to upgrade at least once per 12 months in order to receive maintenance updates.

See Roadmap for further details.

Frequently Asked Questions Edit

Q: Is there all place with all images? get.opensuse.org has only a subset. Yes all images including Base images (with no virt-stack) can be found at download.opensuse.org. We still expect that most users would be happy with the list of images at get.opensuse.org.

Q: Where can I find release roadmap for Micro?

A: Leap Micro roadmap or schedule can be found at openSUSE:Roadmap. Otherwise we're more or less trying to tail SLE Micro releases with about two weeks to a month delay.

Leap Micro is released twice a year, with support over two releases (12 months).

Q: How to resolve issue with broken auto-update?

A: It might happen that one of the post scripts of installed packages fail. Which basically invalidates the entire transaction and therefore automatic-update.

You can skip the issue by running update manually inside the transactional-update shell. 

$ sudo transactional update shell
$ zypper dup
$ exit # from tu shell
$ sudo reboot

Unless there are more issues, automatic updates should then continue working again.

Please make sure to report the automatic-update issue as a bug. Or you'll have the same issue on the next update of the same package.

Q: Is there a Leap Micro container? Can I use it with distrobox?

A: Leap Micro is intended to be a container host, not to be in the container. However, users can still use our toolbox container. I would not recommend this for production, but it's perfect as dev environment. 

distrobox create --image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/leap-micro/6.1/toolbox --name "micro61"
