I have an “Amazon Linux2” server is it compatible to install jupyterhub? Do i follow the same steps as in [Installing on your own server — The Littlest JupyterHub documentation](https://tljh.jupyter.org/en/latest/install/custom-server.html) to install jupyterhub on an existing ec2 instance?

The needs are spelled out in the documentation [here](https://tljh.jupyter.org/en/latest/index.html#installation):

> " The Littlest JupyterHub (TLJH) can run on any server that is running **Debian 11** or **Ubuntu 20.04** or **22.04** on an amd64 or arm64 CPU architecture. We aim to support ‘stable’ and Long-Term Support (LTS) versions. Newer versions are likely to work with little or no adjustment, but these are not officially supported or tested. Earlier versions of Ubuntu and Debian are not supported, **nor are other Linux distributions**. We have a bunch of tutorials to get you started."

I believe from looking around, such as [here](https://serverfault.com/a/1005265), and recollection of trying it a little that it is based on CentOS and would not be compatible as other Linux distributions are not compatible.
