DNS server app for Centos8
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

I have been running my DNS server on a Centos7-arm board for some years and it is past time I get up to date. Particularly get DNSSEC working. So I have plenty of cubieboards for running Centos8-arm, but I want to no longer hand configure. I want some help here; getting up in years and all that. I know there is the Webmin tool, but don't know if it supports dnssec. Looking for that in what docs I have found so far. But is there some other tool for this? I would start to import my zone files and then go from there. thanks

KVM virsh console to physical console?
by Lists 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

I'm preparing to virtualize a Windows server onto a Linux system under virsh. Initial results are looking good, but an issue that's come up is the need to log into the Linux system prior to being able to access the Windows system for updates. Is there a way to "connect" the virsh console directly to a physical Linux terminal? EG: Ctl+Alt+F8 to access the Windows virsh console for Windows Server Thank you Ben Smith

CentOS Stream 8 dnf fails
by Bill Gee 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Every time I run dnf, I get this: ========= [root@vmhost2 ~]# dnf upgrade CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 70 B/s | 38 B 00:00 Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist ========= I tried disabling the repository, but that only gives me exactly the same error for the baseos repository. I doubt it is a problem in the .repo files. Something else is going on. Ping to mirrorlist.centos.org works on both ipv4 and ipv6, so I know that both name resolution and network connectivity are working. Thanks! ======== Bill Gee

stream 8 or stream 9 for new server
by Jon LaBadie 13 Feb '22

13 Feb '22

I'm replacing my ancient desktop home server (CentOS 7, email, dns, backup) with a new mini-server. I've been running stream 9 on the new toy for a couple of weeks and I find there are still a lot of incomplete or missing things. Enough to delay full implementation. Unless I do some workarounds or compile from source. On the other hand I've read there will be no migration path from stream 8 to stream 9. It will require a complete reinstall. Any guesses as to when the stream 9 repos (including epel) will be fairly complete? Just trying to decide whether to wait a bit or go with stream 8. Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jcu(a)labadie.us

CentOS Plus 8-stream support?
by Dan West 12 Feb '22

12 Feb '22

Are the centos-plus packages for 8-stream no longer supported? I noticed that all of the repositories have removed the packages, but I have not heard any announcement that said they were going away. For example: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/centosplus/x86_64/os/Packages/ <http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/centosplus/x86_64/os/Packages/> http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/centos/8-stream/centosplus/x86_64/os/Package… <http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/centos/8-stream/centosplus/x86_64/os/Package…> http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/centos/8-stream/centosplus/x86_64/os/Packages/ <http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/centos/8-stream/centosplus/x86_64/os/Packages/> I first noticed this when running updates and received the following message: ``` Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'centosplus': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist ``` The last mention of the centos-plus repos I can find in the mailing list was from November 18th and was just addressing the final release of CentOS 8: ``` Note that older content, obsoleted by newer versions of the same applications are trim'd off from repos like extras/ and centosplus/ ``` While CentOS 8 EOL’d at the end of December, my understanding is that CentOS 8-Stream will be supported until May 31st 2024. Does that include CentOS Plus for 8-Stream? I really just need CentOS Plus for the kernel-plus package for Wireguard support. The alternative would be to build it into kernel after each release myself, but that isn’t easily maintainable with multiple servers. Let me know if anyone has any insights. Thanks, Dan West

Any downside to mount -o noatime?
by Kenneth Porter 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

I'd like to reduce the wear-and-tear on my SSDs and eliminate the unnecessary metadata writes on my backup media that only slow down the backup process. So I want to add noatime to all my mounts. Is there any downside to this? At one time I remember atime being useful for tmpwatch, which removes files in /tmp that haven't been accessed in a week or two. But I can live without that feature.

Re: [CentOS] Any downside to mount -o noatime?
by Joshua Kramer 11 Feb '22

You may get just as much SSD "savings" by putting /var/log and /tmp into a RAM disk. I do this with all of my Raspberry Pi's, since SD cards burn through pretty quickly, and I have several that haven't had their SD cards replaced in a couple years.
