OS X Server/macOS Server are mostly over my head. And of course, even if the alternatives are better technically, moving to them will require non-trivial investments of time and money.Īre you using OS X Server or macOS Server now? What’s your plan for dealing with losing these services? Let us know in the comments. Consultants and IT admins who recommended, installed, and maintained those macOS Server setups are concerned about having to research, install, and keep up with the wide variety of apps necessary to replace all the capabilities that macOS Server provided in a single coherent package. However, many are distressed by it because it sends a troubling message to small businesses that have long relied on OS X Server and macOS Server. In part, that’s because Apple has moved a few services into macOS for all to use, notably Content Caching and Time Machine Server.īecause of Apple’s obvious lack of interest in macOS Server in recent years, few people are surprised by Apple’s announcement. The number peaked quite a few revisions ago and has been dropping ever since. Over at Krypted, Charles Edge has been maintaining a page that tracks the ebb and flow of services in Server over time.

In a future release of macOS Server, Apple will go further and remove the deprecated services entirely. If you’ve already configured one of the deprecated services, you’ll be able to keep using it in that update.

In an update to macOS Server due in “spring 2018,” Apple will deprecate ten services by hiding them on new installations.
