Centmin Mod Public Beta Testing For AlmaLinux 8 & Rocky Linux 8
Centmin Mod 130.00beta01 beta testing is now public for AlmaLinux 8 & Rocky Linux 8! So if you have a spare VPS idling that needs a work out, you could spin up a AlmaLinux 8 or Rocky Linux 8 OS and give it a spin ^_^
Requirements
- Min 2GB memory and 4GB swap - installer will automatically create 4GB swap if it doesn't exist
- Recommended 4GB memory and 4GB swap.
Prep Disable SELINUX
grubby --update-kernel ALL --args selinux=0
grep '^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=' /etc/default/grub
shutdown -r now
Centmin Mod Install commands for EL8 OS are:
yum -y update
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install screen nano
curl -4sL https://centminmod.com/installer-el8x.sh -o installer-el8x.sh
chmod +x installer-el8x.sh
screen -S cminstall -h 2000000
./installer-el8x.sh
Centmin Mod Install on AlmaLinux DigitalOcean Example
I posted an example Centmin Mod LEMP install on AlmaLinux 8 on DigitalOcean Droplet at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/digitalocean-almalinux-8-centmin-mod-130-00beta01-test-installation.24233/
Once the installer has finished installing Centmin Mod 130.00beta01 on AlmaLinux 8, you will get time summary for the installation - you can use this as a quick benchmark tool to compare different servers you install Centmin Mod on. More CPU cores, faster disks and higher CPU clock speeds = faster installation times. Folks can also post and share the EL8+ Centmin Mod install times here https://community.centminmod.com/threads/post-your-130-00beta01-el8-install-times.23265/ or just share them in this thread if you want 
The time to beat for EL8 installation is from one of my users on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D based server below at 484.9065 seconds

FYI, while public beta testing is focused on AlmaLinux 8 and Rocky Linux 8 for feedback, the installer does also works for EL9 - AlmaLinux 9 and Rocky Linux 9 as Centmin Mod has extensive EL8 and EL9 automated beta testing now as well as outlined at https://community.centminmod.com/threads/automated-testing-almalinux-vs-rocky-linux-vs-oracle-linux.24179/ which has helped with finding EL8 and EL9 operating system bugs already

wow, i have been waiting for this! thank you!
damn, 2gb memory? can you make less, 512mb or 1gb perhaps?
No Ubuntu support? Ok i will pass
That's AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux 8 requirements for the OS alone, unfortunately.
How did I know that would be one of the replies?
Hahaha... Yeah.
95% of this community is debian/ubuntu driven.
Yeah I know, waves at the 5% 😁
Wow. 95%, this is very bold stats. But i think around 70-75% at most.
Yes, majority of men here is also bold. Like Steven Seagal.
