Base catlet for AlmaLinux 10

OverviewAll Tags

AlmaLinux 10

This geneset contains the base catlet for AlmaLinux 10.

Usage

The base catlet can be used as parent catlet like this

New-Catlet -Parent "dbosoft/almalinux-10"

This base catlet does not include a default user. You should therefore set up your own fodder to create an initial local user or to automatically join a domain.

Alternatively, you can use the Starter Catlet, which creates a default admin user with an initial password of "admin".

New-Catlet -Parent "dbosoft/almalinux-10/starter"

See also starter-food for other defaults and variables for starter food.

General Information

RHEL-Compatible Catlets Naming Convention

The naming convention for the RHEL-compatible server catlets is as follows:

almalinux-<version>, oracle-<version>, rhel-<version>

where <version> is the major version number, e.g. 8, 9, 10. We focus on current and supported enterprise Linux versions.

  • Note: UEK2 is not supported on Hyper-V and Azure due to missing drivers

Monthly Builds

We plan to build the server catlets monthly. The build date is part of the tag name. The tag latest is updated with each released version.

Currently the builds have to be triggered manually. We are working on automating this process.

Versioning

This geneset contains 2 kinds of tags:

  • Base catlets
    Base catlets are versioned by a timestamp which is the build date of the catlet.
    The tag latest is updated with each released version.

  • Starter catlets
    Starter catlets are versioned with a major-minor version scheme.

    The started catlets are very light and contain only reference to the base catlet and the starter food.
