What is syncthing in alma linux
by Patrick Begou 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

I all, on a freshly installed Alma Linux 8.7 I can see a syncthing process communicating over https to a remote unknown server. Syncthing is installed automaticaly but what does this process with the remote server ? (base) bash-4.4$ netstat -puta |grep syncthing tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:35533 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4902/syncthing tcp 0 0 localhost:38257 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4902/syncthing tcp 0 0 xxxxxxxx.legi:kitim 195.219.124.44:https ESTABLISHED 4902/syncthing udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32779 0.0.0.0:* 4902/syncthing udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:35533 0.0.0.0:* 4902/syncthing udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21027 0.0.0.0:* 4902/syncthing I read it that “Syncthing replaces proprietary sync and cloud services with something open, trustworthy and decentralized. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, if it is shared with some third party and how it's transmitted over the Internet." But I do not want to share my datas! Any details welcome. Patrick

Alma 9 keep server up and running.
by jdwirtz＠cox.net 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

How do I keep my server from "sleeping". It shuts down, but power light is still on and nothing will bring it back except power cycling. I've tried everything I can find on disabling sleep and hibernation but it still keeps "sleeping". What good is a web server that doesn't stay up and running?

AlmaLinux on WSL initscripts
by Travis Newton 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Hello, I’m having an issue with Windows 10, WSL, and AlmaLinux 8. WSL is at version 1.0.3.0 so what I am trying to do should work. But since it’s easy to blame Microsoft, I am going to do that for the time being. 😊 I am trying to use systemd within WSL running AlmaLinux. AlmaLinux is fully updated on 8.7. I edited /etc/wsl.conf to include [boot] and setting systemd as true. I’ve restarted WSL (and the Windows computer), and still for the life of me, I cannot get AlmaLinux to load systemd. The fallback should be using initscripts. Obviously, RHEL (so AlmaLinux), have moved to systemd but there is an initscripts package. I installed that and even restarted WSL for good measure, but unfortunately it redirects service to systemctl and then it complains that the system was booted as init and not systemd and it can’t operate. So my question is, has anyone either got systemd working on AlmaLinux under WSL or has anyone got initscripts working? I’ve been Googling this like mad but all I’ve been able to find are articles regarding Ubuntu. Thanks in advance if anyone can provide some insight!

Wine 32bit
by John Thompson 15 Feb '23

15 Feb '23

Has anybody gotten wine to work in Almalinux-9.1 with 32bit PE executables? I can compile wine-8 for 64bit executable support, but I haven't been able to install a 32-bit development environment for 32-bit support. -- -John (JohnDThompson(a)gmail.com) Appleton, WI USA

WG: Package missing in Podman Module container-tools:rhel8 / container-selinux-2.189.0-1.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f.noarch.rpm
by Dominik Rutkowski 02 Feb '23

Hello, I just noticed this behavior because of an trivy scan I enabled podman module RHEL8 and installed podman: dnf module enable container-tools:rhel8 dnf install podman rpm -qa podman podman-4.2.0-6.module_el8.7.0+3385+a9526ac7.x86_64 rpm -qa container-selinux container-selinux-2.189.0-1.module_el8.6.0+3336+00d107d5.noarch if I switch to container-tools:4.0 then the correct container-selinux module get installed dnf module switch-to container-tools:4.0 rpm -qa podman podman-4.0.2-8.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f.x86_64 rpm -qa container-selinux container-selinux-2.189.0-1.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f.noarch The whole Module "container-tools:rhel8" seems messed up fuse-overlayfs 1.9-1.module_el8.6.0+3070+1510fbd1 get installed, but should be 1.9-1.module_el8.7.0+3344+5bcd850f I cannot replicate it on an RHEL machine, so I don't know if this is an upstream RHEL issue Thanks in advance If you need any more infos, just let me know Greetings Dominik

LSRRB (Linux Software Raid Redundant Boot)
by Robert Moskowitz 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

I have a new HPE Prioliant gen10plus that I will be setting up with RAID1. I have been asking questions on the Centos-user list, but my plan is to install AlmaLinux 9.1 And I have been following comments about problems with RAID support in it. Meanwhile in my digging into RAID on my gen10+ install I find: https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/lsrrb/ And lsrrb. It is available for RH8. Can I get it to work with AL9.1? should I for a single server? It seems to use PXE, TFTP, and kickstart. A lot of work, is it worth it? Or is there a short cut? thanks for any help you can provide.

mail server platform
by Robert Moskowitz 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

Past time to upgrade my email server I run my own setup with RedSleeve6-arm. I never successfully got the Centos7-arm working, but if interested you can see what I was doing at: http://medon.htt-consult.com/Centos7-mailserver.html I want something as turnkey as possible with RAID1 drives. So first level question is a small Almalinux platform with RAID. Will have to be Intel, not ARM, as the mail software tends to be Intel. I do want low power. Note my network server is a little, low-power QNAP TS-230 and I had to replace a drive with errors, so I am sold on RAID. Thus first a recommendation on a platform. 4TB drives would be overkill for my mail needs. Then email software. My current setup is file-based messages. So I have to think about that for any migration, but I SO want out of maintaining the software myself. Running an updater is all I want at this age (now 72). I found: https://geekflare.com/self-hosted-email-server/ And iRedMail looks interestingly easy for me. Modoboa looks a little harder. Mail will be the ONLY think on this system, so I should not need any docker setups. Anyone can point me where to get going? thanks
