Rocky Linux support about virtualmin-install

[jcameron]

Is Rocky Linux based on some other more common distro, like RHEL?

[hbjydev]

Yep! It's built from the same sources as RHEL is, and it's aiming to be bug-for-bug compatible. Think of it as CentOS, but not being replaced by Stream.

[jcameron]

Do the versions line up? Like is Rocky 8.3 the same as RHEL 8.3 ?

[hbjydev]

Yep.

[jcameron]

Thanks - the next Webmin release will better support Rocky Linux. Work still needs to be done on the Virtualmin installer though.

[hbjydev]

What work needs doing on the Virtualmin installer?

[hbjydev]

I've started working on a fork that installs properly, and it does, until you go to configure it in the browser.

I assume this is because Virtualmin itself doesn't know how to work with Rocky?

[swelljoe]

No. That is Webmin treating the OS as a generic OS.

[hbjydev]

Right. Is there somewhere I would need to go in Webmin to patch that? Code-wise, I mean

Jamie, I have installed Rocky Linux and Virtualmin on it using patched install.sh script and things seem to work pretty smooth.

This is what Webmin thinks of it:

However, MariaDB Server is not detected correctly by default.

Here is the example of working config (manually adjusted):

mysql=/usr/bin/mysql
nodbi=0
my_cnf=/etc/my.cnf.d/mariadb-server.cnf
date_subs=0
passwd_mode=0
mysqladmin=/usr/bin/mysqladmin
mysqlimport=/usr/bin/mysqlimport
stop_cmd=systemctl stop mariadb
max_text=1000
webmin_subs=0
mysql_libs=
nopwd=0
access=*: *
mysqldump=/usr/bin/mysqldump
max_dbs=50
style=1
blob_mode=0
mysql_data=/var/lib/mysql
perpage=25
start_cmd=systemctl start mariadb
mysqlshow=/usr/bin/mysqlshow
add_mode=1
port=
host=
sock=
mysqld=

It was set initially to /etc/my.cnf and start and stop commands were set to use /etc/rc.d.

You can use config above by placing it to /etc/webmin/mysql/config file.
