Where did we go wrong?

You are using the DEV build aka ALPHA build aka NOT STABLE. I am not sure what you expected???????

Hi.

Thanks for your reply.
Isn't the idea of "4.x bugs threads" to report bugs and help to fix things?

No the bug thread is for the stable version, not for a alpha version.

Aaaa now ya talkin
Thanks

It is okay, as long as the topic is tagged with CentOS8 in the subject, it is all good

Errors will be expected as they are worked on. I am working on this particular one next.

Good information. rimfire scope reviews

@shawniverson thanks for the update

Since in November 2020 CentOS 6.x will stop receiving security updates and we will need to migrate EFA to newer version, what is your suggestion:
- plan the migration to CentOS 7.x
- wait for EFA bugs fixes on CentOS 8.x and plan to migrate to version 8.

End of Lifetime (EOL) Dates
CentOS-6 (November 30th, 2020)
CentOS-7 (June 30th, 2024)
CentOS-8 (May 31st, 2029)

We would definitely prefer CentOS-8 since there are 5 extra years not need to worry about another migration

Thanks and have a nice day!

eFa on CentOS8 is increasing in stability. It is not ready yet, but it will be. I would give it a few more weeks if you can hold off that long.

Thumbs up for great work!
Will test both (centos7 and centos8) durring that time.

Hi.
Working with BETA mode on CENTOS8.
In the initial configuration wizard having a problem (single-label domain environment) that wizard doesn't allow putting a single-label domain.

works: domain-sample.com
doesn't work: domain-sample

Can configuration wizard be updated to allow single-label domain please?

with best regards

The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'yum clean packages'.
Error: Error downloading packages:
Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8 ... nfra=stock [Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org]
[eFa] - Error initializing system! Please try again...

One more thing worth mentioning. After the faulty configuration my root username is no longer accepting password, but I can login to shell (only) with the user configured in efa-configuration wizard. Is this a desired behaviour ?

This is normal behavior for eFa.

Disregard, we have to install key under EFA Menu



I ran a new install last night...

Cant update GEOIP, what do we need to do for this?

A license key from www.maxmind.com is needed to download GeoLite2 data

Update now not working on new install on CentOS8
error
Problem 1 pkg libreswan-3.29.7 requires libunbound.so.2 but none of the providers can be installed

Problem 2 pkg network manager - libreswan-1.2.10... requires /usr/bin/ipsec but none of the providers can be installed

Problem 3 problem with installed pkg libreswan-3.29-6.e18.x86_64

libreswan package needs removed from eFa. Remove it and try again. eFa has a specific build of unbound to resolve security and stability issues in stock CentOS 8.

ok.. Steps?

yum remove [package_name]

that worked.. now doing an update,.. hopefully Webmin will work after update
