Add KernelCare Clients for Debian/Ubuntu

What changes are you introducing?

Add KernelCare Clients for Debian/Ubuntu

Why are you introducing these changes? (Explanation, links to references, issues, etc.)

I was only checking for EL10 which are not yet released, but then realized that they're missing for Debian & Ubuntu. I did not find any Clients for SLES.

Anything else to add? (Considerations, potential downsides, alternative solutions you have explored, etc.)

@Lennonka I have converted this to tables similar to #3804.

Can you add Debian13 and EL10 OSses? Then, we should add this nice addition.

There are no KernelCare Clients for Debian 13 or EL 10:

  • https://repo.cloudlinux.com/kernelcare-debian/
  • https://repo.cloudlinux.com/kernelcare/

I can add them in a follow-up PR as soon as they're published. @sbernhard

I had a look again and found https://docs.tuxcare.com/live-patching-services/ in which new repo urls are specified - including debian 13. Actually, I would vote to to remove the table, describe the common procedure how to use the repos and point to this documentation to get always the latest repo state. Then, we don't need to maintain the list of repos.

@sbernhard I have applied your suggestion. Please re-review.

maximiliankolb avatar Sep 16 '25 06:09 maximiliankolb

Resolved the merge conflict and rebased to HEAD of "master". Please re-review @sbernhard
