Chuck Carroll ☛ Installing Pihole on Fedora Server 42
I've installed Pihole probably a dozen times at this point. The installation guide that Pihole provides is super helpful, but I've had to do some additional steps to get it working in my environment, specifically Fedora Server 42. First, I had to change SELinux to permissive so that I could install pihole. Currently, Pihole doesn't fully support SELinux by default, but it appears that the community is working on it.

CentOS ☛ Introducing Kurchu for CentOS SIG Content Collections
Anyone who builds a GNU/Linux distribution knows that it’s more than just the ISO you download from the website. When creating GNU/Linux distribution artifacts, a set of inputs; processing steps; and outputs need to be defined so that it is understood what comprises the “distribution” itself. Kurchu is one of those tools aimed at doing this with Fedora/CentOS resources.

Kevin Fenzi: Beginning of May infra bits 2025
Wow, it's already May now. Time races by sometimes. Here's a few things I found notable in the last week:
Actual progress to report this week! Managed to get access to the mgmt on all our new hardware in the new datacenter. Most everything is configured right in dhcp config now (aarch64 and power10's need still some tweaking there).
This next week will be updating firmware, tweaking firmware config, setting up access, etc on all those interfaces. I want to try and do some testing on various raid configs for storage and standardize the firmware configs. We are going to need to learn how to configure the lpars on the power10 machines next week as well.
Then, the following week hopefully we will have at least some normal network for those hosts and can start doing installs on them.
