I just added #AlmaLinux 10 to our Integration Test Target (ITT) lineup:
👉 github.com/orgs/foundata/repos

🔍 Looking for #Linux #Containers for your CI/CD pipeline? We’ve built a collection of OCI images:

✅ fully functional systemd (not just a shim!)
✅ unprivileged execution support, perfect for tools like #Podman.
✅ ideal for #Ansible #Molecule testing, see them in action with a collection: github.com/foundata/ansible-co

Cool feature to help with troubleshooting your system!

"sosreport acts as a black box recorder for Linux — capturing everything from system logs and kernel messages to active configurations and command outputs — helping support engineers trace problems without needing direct access to the system."

The Best Boring #Benchmarks: #RockyLinux10 & #AlmaLinux10 Performance Against #RHEL10 Review
Testing on an AMD EPYC 9755 2P (EPYC Turin) server and using the same hardware across all tests, the performance of #RockyLinux 10 and #AlmaLinux 10 were right on-par with #RedHat #EnterpriseLinux 10 itself. Hence the best kind of boring benchmarks when the performance is right on track for where it should be.

Well then, I guess I’ll have to replace that disk…

Except it’s a virtual disk, and should NOT be doing that. None of the other umpty-zillion VMs in that zone are showing trouble. Only this one. And the 3 other instances I launched before based on the the same original image, provided as a pre-built one for #OpenNebula from the #Alma site. On different physical hosts.

I am pondering how the content+config of system image could lead to this. sysctls?

As #RHEL clones hit version 10, Rocky and Alma chart diverging paths
Take a quick look at the headline features – and the growing differences
Perhaps the biggest and most obvious technological difference in this version is that #AlmaLinux offers a separate version for x86-64-v2 hardware. #RHEL10 itself, and Rocky with it, now require x86-64-v3, meaning Intel "Haswell"
But you'd expect all the RHELatives to be similar. That remains their primary selling point.

The Register · As RHEL clones hit version 10, Rocky and Alma chart diverging pathsBy Liam Proven

Postfix unter RHEL 10 / #AlmaLinux 10: Red Hat liefert keine BDB-Bibliotheken mehr aus (Lizenzprobleme). Postfix verwendet jetzt LMDB als Datenbank-Backend (default_database_type = lmdb).

Wenn Sie /etc/aliases verändern, müssen Sie nun

postalias /etc/aliases

ausführen. Das vertraute Kommando newaliases steht weiterhin zur Verfügung und läuft fehlerfrei, die damit erzeugte Datei aliases.db wird von Postfix aber ignoriert. Grummel!

I am still old school and I prefer rsyslog to systemd-journald. At least I am happy that I can still use this feature with #AlmaLinux. Using journalctl is a pain in the ass. I would much rather be able to use old school cat and less commands to parse text logs.
