This led me to a moment of clarity: Everything that I used to rely on Mac OS X Server to handle for me was gone.
In taking the leap from Mojave to Ventura, my server lost its stock installations of Python and PHP, both of which I use for various tasks. In the last few years, Server has faded away entirely, and Apple has swept a lot of stock Unix software entirely out of the standard installation of macOS. After a few attempts to bifurcate Mac OS X itself into two different versions, Apple gave up and essentially reduced Server to a single standalone app that configured stuff like file and web servers. When Macs became Unix machines, Apple got the idea that they’d make great servers, if only all that Unix software could become a better Mac citizen. Mac OS X Server was-and I’m grossly simplifying here, but it’ll have to do-software that provided a Mac interface for a whole host of Unix-based server programs. I’ve been migrating my server data since I started using Mac OS X Server a couple of decades ago. Not only does Apple silicon reign supreme, but I broke with years of migrating my old server to new hardware and set the entire Mac up from scratch. I upgraded my Mac mini server last weekend, swapping an M2 model in for a 2018 model running macOS Mojave that was the last in-service Intel Mac in my house.īut the changing of the guard turned out to be even more complete than that. MAMP runs at the center of my new Mac mini server. My new macOS server marks the end of Mac OS X Server
