Do you have an Infrastructure as Code ( IaC ) file that details your VM installation process, e.g. vagrant, ansible? If so, given that this was a work project, are you allowed to share, e.g. GitHub? Good question! I'm working on some ansible roles, but I doubt I'll be able to share them. If I can abstract some stuff (e.g., disabling the unnecessary dnf subscription manager pluging), I'll see about posting the code somewhere. -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45.38° N, 122.59° W

In the past, Red Hat (and CentOS et al) allowed you only one choice of, say, PostgreSQL version. Either you installed that version or you needed to find a different repository or build your own. Starting with Red Hat 8, some applications come as "modules" or "streams," e.g., postgresql. Here's an example from a RHEL 8 machine: [~]# dnf module list postgresql Name StreamProfiles postgresql9.6 client, server [d] postgresql10 [d]client, server [d] postgresql12client, server [d] postgresql13client, server [d] Hint: [d]efault, [e]nabled, [x]disabled, [i]nstalled You cannot install more than one stream at a time -- that is, I can't have versions 10 and 13 installed simultaneously -- but admins now have a choice of which _officially supported_ version to install. So far, the module/stream list is empty in CentOS 9. This is a fairly early release, so I'm only mildly surprised by this. As the repository matures, I suspect that will change. -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45.38° N, 122.59° W
