Koozali SME Server v11 pre ISO testing notes
« on: October 17, 2024, 08:33:53 PM »
No ISO yet, but coming soon......   :hammer:

In the meantime for the inquisitive.

Vaguely how to install - Virtual Machines ONLY.

This is highly likely to break, destroy all data etc. It is ONLY for testing.

You may need to come and talk to us to get it running as there are a few tricks and we may have them all documented (did I mention documentation?):

Bug matrix here:

Bugs to verify - pick one and see if you can find it and if it is fixed:

Installed in my VM just fine.
After install, followed instructions to:

Install EPEL8 repo.

dnf install epel-release

but I get this message (See attached screenshot):

I'd imagine that your network isn't running correctly if it can't resolve those repos.

The wiki page is a big of a mess (volunteer to update it?). You probably want to look at the bits here:

## This is safer to be done directly on tty, not via ssh:

Get rid of Network Manager and then reconfigure the network. It takes a bit of jiggling about to get that configured and settled after which it is easier - this is usually taken care of on first install from ISO but you are kind of coming in part way through so it needs some effort.

You have a Rocket account so please talk to us there. It's much easier to help 'on the fly' than here.

Things are in a constant state of flux, particularly with the build system so you may need a hand.

Re-Installed and noticed that during initial setup, by default, network is turned off. Turned it on and it works now.

Cool.

Note this is Very Very pre Alpha. Updates/upgrades may totally trash it so do not depend on it and use it for testing only.

You will help yourself and us if you chat to us on Rocket - that is where all the dev/building/testing info is.
