[Dxspider-support] Upgrading Ubuntu killed DXspider

[Faizul]

Hi OM Ciemon,

I completely understand the struggle of keeping things up-to-date while
expecting some breakages along the way. I also run DXSpider, but I use
a *Docker
container* to avoid these kinds of issues when upgrading the OS.

Running DXSpider in Docker helps keep dependencies stable and makes it
easier to move between different OS versions without breaking anything.

Maybe others in the community have their own way of handling DXSpider
across OS upgrades? It would be great to hear how different setups are
maintained.

73,
