Now that CentOS repos have died, is there a way to use almalinux-deploy.sh for 8.4 or maybe even less?

Elevate CentOS 7->A8 upgrades postgresql from 9.2 to 10.0
by Todd Rinaldo 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Hi, I’ve been evaluating elevate and would like to point out a problem with the current configuration. Right now, if I have postgres and postgres-server (both at 9.2) installed, when I use elevate, I end up with 10.17. The problem is that some applications still depend on 9 in order to function. AlmaLinux 8 provides postgresql 9.6 and IMO this would be a better choice when upgrading people between 7 and 8. To get to this in 8, you have to first run: dnf enable module postgresql:9.6 then dnf install postgresql-server If a user wants to move to 10 from 9.6, they can. They cannot move from 10 to 9.6 though. Thanks, Todd Rinaldo

/etc/pam.d/system-auth created by authselect, but authselect not configured
by Neil Aggarwal 09 Dec '21

Hello all: I am trying to understand PAM, I have not used it before. When I open /etc/pam.d/system-auth, it has these lines: # This file is auto-generated. # User changes will be destroyed the next time authselect is run. But, when I run: authselect check It tells me: System was not configured with authselect. This seems incongruent. Any insights?

Error: ws-discovery is an invalid service
by Neil Aggarwal 08 Dec '21

Hello all: I am seeing packets to port 3702 in my firewall log so I wanted to add a rule to drop them silently. I tried this command: firewall-cmd --permanent --add-rich-rule='rule service name=ws-discovery drop' Which give me this message: success But, when I do systemctl restart firewalld I see this entry in the log: ERROR: INVALID_SERVICE: ws-discovery That is strange. Any idea what went wrong? Thank you, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (972) 834-1565, http://www.propfinancing.com We offer 30 year loans on single family houses!

Qemu - enabling "bridge mode" for primary physical interface for VMs
by Lists 07 Dec '21

07 Dec '21

I have a physical host with a single physical network adapter. I want to host several VMs on host. (guest1 - guest4) The guest systems are accessible via 192.168.122.* as is the default with qemu/virsh. There are 4 IP addresses being routed to the primary interface on host. I can set up an alias for the NIC and "see" these ip addresses. I understand that it's possible to allow the 4 VM guest systems to each have a "direct" fixed IP address and access the addresses \via the host network adapter, while the host retains its fixed IP. I've been googling like crazy and there is a lot of stale and conflicting information. Has anybody here done this successfully? Host and all guests are running Alma 8. Thanks. Ben S
