Yes, there should be a reasonable limitation to incentivize becoming a Pro subscriber; otherwise, it makes little sense.
And, like I said I’m not against GPL version.

100% there should be a reasonable limitation, you got my vote on 3 for free.
There is the perfect number of permanent developers here 3 (Jamie Joe and Ilia) get together have a vote on the future of cloudmin and what ever the out come is move on. If you guys don’t have the time to spare its not a crime to drop the project entirely and focus on virtualmin if that’s what you want to do. But it is a crime to leave cloudmin looking like a homeless drug addict, which is what it is today.
Either way sort it out.

Sounds like the time has come, keep it or bin it.
Agreed, a decision should be made. Having production servers hanging in the wind is not good. Although at least Cloudmin is a management solution and not an entire environment like Proxmox.
It would be a pity to see it go, as there are some amazing features alot of VM management software do not provide, such as auto scaling and at least some level of joined up containerisation, it runs on RHEL and Debian and it’s tight integration with Virtualmin.
However it doesn’t use Libvirt…and has some networking bugs…although they are being fixed…perhaps another release is due!!
Oh and fixing the iSCSI software problem and supporting the new versions of CPU models.
Perhaps you should consider a different support model too. I know I’d be happy to pay more for a graded support level. The price as it stands is extremely cheap!
I just tried to run the installer on RHEL 9.6 from here:
$ sh cloudmin-install-10.0.0.sh --branch rc
But it bombs out when trying to install the Cloudmin package, 9.8.1
Error: Error downloading packages:
wbm-server-manager-2:9.8-1.noarch: Cannot download, all mirrors were already tried without success
I’m guessing that’s because the Cloudmin package is protected?
Does it work if you use --branch unstable flag?
I get the same error using the --branch unstable flag too
If you edit the cloudmin-install-10.0.0.sh script and add your key and license, it will install just fine.
Thanks, that has worked to the next step.
Cloudmin failed on configuring CGroups and KVM, so will investigate this further.

▣▣▣ Cleaning up
Is there a way of getting this installed without using unstable / rc versions of webmin?
I will go back to my modified installer if it’s going to install software like that!
No, but you shouldn’t worry about RC repos. They’re final builds with the same code that will later appear in production repos.
Have I managed to install an unstable version?
Did you install it using --branch rc or --branch unstable flag?
probably both 
Then it’s expected. 
Best way to undo? Reinstall?
There are a few better options besides reinstalling, and that’s rarely the right choice for someone experienced like you.
Try just downgrading the package, e.g.:
dnf downgrade webmin
Then make sure only the RC repo is left by running the install script with the --setup --branch rc flag.
Thanks @Ilia - sometimes a clean sheet works wonders, but I’ll just downgrade in this case!
Lovely, that worked perfectly
