is related to my server or there are some problem on virtualmin repo?
thank you

I don’t see it listed in the Documentation as supported yet.

Rocky, Alma, and RHEL 8 and 9 on x86_64

You did follow the instructions here?

Just checking. I’m still on Virtualmin 7 so I’m wondering if you are trying to install a developers version.

Hi,

Just a heads up, you’re using the development version of the Virtualmin install script. It won’t work with the standard repositories. You’ll need to run it with the --branch unstable flag.

Also, there’s no rush unless you absolutely need to use Rocky 10 today. Rocky 9 will work just fine. Virtualmin 8 will support EL 10 and Debian 13 systems.

sorry, i are right.
i used branch version…
now works fine :slight_smile:
big thank you

at the end i used rocky 9… no problem :slight_smile:
