  1. Yaay 8:30 meeting got cut short since we didnt have much to talk about. So what am I doing with my new fount 25-ish minutes? Working on a CFP submission for @BSidesDE !

    Who wants to get hands on with bootc (on an enterprise class linux no less, RHEL), and learn how you can manage your OS like a container? What security benefits are there? Well you could find out!

    Anyway, wish me luck!

  3. Infinito.Nexus 12.0: From a Single Server to a Scalable Sovereign Cloud

    Infinito.Nexus 12.0 is one of the most significant releases in the project’s history. Until now, Infinito.Nexus focused primarily on automating complete open-source environments on a single Docker Compose host. Version 12.0 introduces Docker Swarm as a second deployment mode, enabling applications to run across multiple servers, scale horizontally and recover from node failures. This release combines capabilities that are rarely delivered by one automation platform: More than 75 automatically deployable open-source applications One Single Sign-On experience backed by a unified user database Horizontal scaling across multiple cloud servers Automated backup and continuously tested disaster recovery Support across Debian, Arch Linux and RHEL-family distributions Filesystem-independent operation across ext4, btrfs and ZFS Together, these changes transform Infinito.Nexus from an application installer into a comprehensive foundation for scalable, sovereign cloud infrastructure.

  4. Ansible is easy to install. A sane, reproducible development environment takes more thought.

    My downstream-first setup uses RHEL 10.2, Podman, VS Code Dev Containers, and Red Hat-packaged Ansible Development Tools, while keeping the boundaries between upstream projects, downstream products, development containers, and production Execution Environments explicit.

  6. #TechTipThursday: find out if your Linux box actually needs a reboot.

    After a round of updates the guessing game is always the same. Do I need to reboot, or can I keep working? On Fedora and RHEL based systems, stop guessing:

    needs-restarting -r

    It checks whether the kernel or core libraries changed and tells you straight up whether a reboot is required. It lives in the dnf-utils package, so install that first if you don't have it.

  8. New episode of the Fedora Podcast is up: What is EPEL?

    Noah and Eric sit down with Carl George @carlwgeorge who leads the EPEL team at Red Hat, to cover what EPEL actually is, the golden rule behind its reputation, and the changes he's proposing for EPEL 11. If you run enterprise Linux, this one's for you.

  10. If given the choice of RHCSA Rapid Track or RHSA I (?) and II first with these results on the self evaluation, are there Red Hat people out there who could provide guidance?

    My employer is paying, but I want to set myself up for success and not waste time. Thoughts?

  14. Dear @redhat,

    I miss you and I'm pretty sure you miss me!

    I miss the community, the mission, and honestly the work. You miss having someone who can explain #RHEL to a kernel engineer and a VP of Infrastructure in the same breath without breaking a sweat.

    What do you say? Let's talk.

  16. What on earth has happened to the emacs-nw (former emacs-nox) packaging!?

    On Alma Linux 10.2 (RHEL clone) it pulls in gcc and git-core, make and kernel-headers, pkgconfig - which again pulls in tons of Perl packages. On top of that there are weak dependencies such as gcc-c++.

    This needs to be cleaned up!

  18. Any opinions out there on the best #linux distro for running the weird and wonderful software my radio #astronomy users like to use? #Debian (my preferred) or maybe #ubuntu #rhel #AlmaLinux #RockyLinux

  19. Continued from last week's efforts:

    Once you've got #ImageMode running, the real questions start: How do you handle updates? What does a rollback actually look like? How do you change the role of a host without starting over?

    This lab covers: Tracking tags, rolling back software changes, and updating what's available to a #VM. Good hands-on practice for anyone evaluating this as a production pattern.

    And best of all, its free!

  21. #SonicDE third-party packages are now available for #EnterpriseLinux 10-based distributions. They've already been tested on #AlmaLinux and #RHEL and will be on Oracle Linux and Rocky Linux too. Please see sonicde-fedora-el.github.io for how to get them.
    Big thank you, @anders!

  23. If you've been curious about #ImageMode for #RHEL but haven't had a reason to sit down and actually try it, #RedHat put together a hands-on lab worth bookmarking.

    You'll manage a #VM running in #ImageMode, see how #bootc tracks images, swap host purposes, and roll back changes. Think of it like git for your operating system! Immutable, versioned, and a lot more predictable than traditional package management.

    And, its FREE to try!

  27. Package management is one of those things every Linux admin should know cold.

    Search for a package: dnf search packagename
    Install it: dnf install packagename
    Check what's installed: rpm -qa | grep packagename
    Remove it cleanly: dnf remove packagename

    Your package manager is your best friend. Treat it accordingly.

  29. Last week #syslog_ng 4.12.0 was released. It comes now with RHEL RPMs next to DEB packages. My versioned #RHEL / #Fedora and #openSUSE / #SLES repos are still prepared:

    Note that my RHEL 10 build failed and needs investigation.
