Hi,
For those using CentOS 8, a reminder that it went EOL on 31 December
2021 and as of 31 January 2022 they removed all the public mirrors
as well, so you can't get updates or install anything any more.
This apparently took a number of projects by surprise… including
some Red Hat ones!

If you are using CentOS 8 I think we would recommend that you switch
it to CentOS Stream 8 at least in the short term, because that is
the only way you get security updates. I understand that there is a
simple script to do this without reinstall and at least 1 BitFolk
customer has done it.
In terms of BitFolk supporting CentOS Stream 9, we're waiting for
ELRepo to gain an EL9 kernel-ml package, then that should be viable.
I asked you all about your plans post-CentOS 8 and didn't get a huge
response. Some interest was expressed in Rocky Linux and Oracle
Linux. So, those will likely be available soon.
A customer also put together instructions for installing OpenSUSE
Leap, which I have run through and seems to work fine:

Cheers,
