How to query which yum package groups a particular package is member of
by Kenneth Porter 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

I'm trying to find out how dnsmasq got on my CentOS 7 system, since I use BIND for DNS. I'm guessing it was part of a base group that Anaconda installs for all systems. Red Hat has this answered on this page but the answer is only available to subscribers. I'm guessing this kind of content will be available to us once the new free subscription thing starts. <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2534881>

Hi, Is there a reason why the update is not tagged as "security"? yum --security update sudo ... --> sudo-1.8.23-10.el7_9.1.x86_64 from updates removed (updateinfo) --> sudo-1.8.23-9.el7.x86_64 from @base removed (updateinfo) No packages needed for security; 1 packages available ...

CentOS Stream suitability as a production webserver
by Jamie Burchell 25 Jan '21

25 Jan '21

Hello I've recently discovered the announcement regarding the change in direction for the CentOS project and I imagine like many others, I'm confused and concerned about what this means moving forward. I work for a small web development agency and we offer hosting as part of our package to clients who need it. We have many CentOS 7 web servers (DigitalOcean droplets) (LAMP/LEMP) that I look after and today I'm thankful I have only migrated one of those to CentOS 8, given the recent announcement about its curtailed EOL. I literally just went to the Wiki today to confirm the EOL date for EL7 and boy am I glad I spotted it. Given we are not developing drivers or applications (other than websites and web applications), is the change a non-issue for my use-case? I've seen it written that CentOS Stream is the "development version" of RHEL but also that we shouldn't have considered RHEL to be the beta for CentOS. Others have said to think of CentOS more like RHEL RC-1. I just don't know how the stability will compare and we have historically always chosen CentOS for its stability (and of course price). Sure, I could migrate to Ubuntu (I use this locally in WSL), but I've become somewhat "comfy slippers" with CentOS and have built our setup around it (including custom ansible scripts etc) and don't want to change everything unncessarily. Of course, a lot of this is somewhat dependent on what DigitalOcean will decide to provide image wise moving forward. I'm sorry if this has already been answered, I spent a good few hours reading through the respective threads in the devel list and ended up more confused than I started. Cheers, Jamie

Infiniband is Mellanox's ConnectX-3. Any thoughts on how to track the bottleneck or any thoughts I'll appreciate much. thanks, L

simple http server grab data posted and send to another server - slightly off topic
by Jerry Geis 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

Hi All, anyone know how to make a "simple" http server (python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000) type of stuff - but simply take the incoming data, (should be real small) and when received - send that to a different server . This is different than "redirect" as that is the issue. The device does not understand the redirect response that is happening now. So I was looking for a way to "consume" the post - then re-send the post. It has to be independent of httpd as that is in use. CentOS 7 is my platform. Thanks Jerry
