Hi there,

>  Is there a version of AWIPS that runs on Centos 8 stream?

There is not currently a version of AWIPS that runs on anything more current 
than CentOS/RHEL7.
Even the National Weather Service (NWS) versions are still running on CentOS7.

If you have a CentOS8 machine, I might suggest downloading VMWare player and 
then downloading
our CentOS7 VM which has CAVE and python-awips installed.  The VM instructions 
are the same
as the VM instructions for native Windows OS:
http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/#method-1-linux-virtual-machine

The main drawback to the VM option is RGB products (mostly GOES RGB) will not 
render, because
they require access to the host graphics card, and VMWare does not currently 
have this 
capability.

Please let me know if that's helpful at all for you.
Thanks.
