When PR https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-node-ng-image/pull/146 lands you will be able to build oVirt nodes using AlmaLinux 9 (new) and Centos 9 Stream (fixed).
There are still a few issues with AlmaLinux 9, not because of AlmaLinux, but because the oVirt engine force enables a bunch of Centos 9 Stream repositories breaking the system. You can get around this by basically disabling those repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as they appear – bugs will be filed with the engine.
Step 1. Add the signing key
sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
Step 2. Add the repository
echo -e "[vscode]\nname=packages.microsoft.com\nbaseurl=https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/vscode/\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1\nrepo_gpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc\nmetadata_expire=1h" | sudo tee -a /etc/yum.repos.d/vscode.repo
Step 3. Refresh the yum meta data
sudo dnf update -y
Step 4. Install vscode
sudo dnf install code -y
Step 1. Import the key
sudo rpm --import https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc
Step 2. Add the repos
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/edge
Step 3. Refresh the yum meta data
sudo dnf update --refresh
Step 4. Install Edge
sudo dnf install microsoft-edge-stable
Microsoft Edge should now be available for you to use either via the CLI or the Gnome Deskop
This is more so that I can remember.
You need to get to the latest update level on the CentOS systems. If the systems have been unloved you will likely find that they can no longer access the repos servers.
Change the baseurl to http://vault.centos.org/, comment out the mirrorlist as per this image.
You’ll need to do this in at least :
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-BaseOS.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-AppStream.repoThen you can perform the required upgrade :
dnf update
dnf upgradeThen I suggest re-booting and you can then perform the AlmaLinux migration by :
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy/master/almalinux-deploy.sh
bash almalinux-deploy.sh
Then the following should show that you’ve converted OK
