This article explains how to speed up DNF on AlmaLinux 9 by installing the fastestmirror plugin, adjusting dnf.conf settings like max_parallel_downloads and timeout, and ensuring proper proxy configuration if necessary. The author walks through cleaning stale metadata with “dnf clean all,” verifying mirror choices during a test install, disabling IPv6 when it causes slowdowns, and pinning stubborn repositories to fast base URLs. A real‑world anecdote shows the writer cutting a ten‑gig upgrade from thirty minutes to under seven by enabling fastestmirror and raising parallel downloads. Finally, the guide suggests using dnf config-manager for quick toggles of options such as repo_gpgcheck or per‑repo fastestmirror flags, leaving readers with a faster, more efficient package management experience.
The article offers a quick, step‑by‑step method for installing Git on AlmaLinux 9 through DNF, beginning with adding the EPEL repository so you receive a signed, up‑to‑date package. It explains why using the official repos is safer and easier than compiling from source, then shows the single command to install Git itself. After installation, you can confirm the version, avoid typical SSL problems caused by older binaries, and even choose a newer build via COPR if needed. A brief sanity check—initializing a local repository and making a commit—demonstrates that everything is working correctly.
This guide walks through installing MySQL 8.0 on AlmaLinux 9 by first adding Oracle’s official repository file and then using DNF to install the server package. It reminds you to disable any old MySQL repos, start the mysqld service immediately with systemctl, and retrieve the temporary root password that appears in the log after installation. The next step is running mysql_secure_installation to set a permanent root password and tighten security by removing anonymous users and test databases. Finally, it confirms the setup works by logging into MySQL as root, noting that a misconfigured repository can easily cause install failures.
The guide helps AlmaLinux 9 users swap out terminal firewall‑cmd work for a clickable interface, presenting straight commands and clear explanations. It walks through updating the system, installing the `firewall-config` package, enabling Firewalld to start automatically, and launching the GUI with root privileges so you can avoid that dreaded black screen. Common pitfalls—missing dependencies, service failures after reboot, or accidentally closing all zones—are addressed with specific reinstall or reload commands that quickly restore functionality. A real‑world example shows how a kernel upgrade left SSH exposed until the GUI let an admin re‑enable the port in the “public” zone with just a few clicks, underscoring why the graphical tool can save time on production systems.
The article explains how to add the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) and its experimental EPEL‑Next repositories to AlmaLinux 9, noting their value when the default repos miss newer libraries or specific packages like libxcrypt‑1.4. It begins by ensuring the system is fully updated, installing dnf‑plugins-core, and then pulling in the signed epel-release package that places a trusted repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d/. The next section shows how to enable EPEL‑Next with either `dnf config-manager` or by editing the repo file, stressing that this experimental branch carries instability risks. Finally it cautions against mixing CentOS repos, forgetting to refresh metadata, and verifies the setup with a quick repolist command.
