Virtualmin Repository URL for Updating Rocky Linux OS

SYSTEM INFORMATION

Webmin version REQUIRED
Virtualmin version REQUIRED
Related packages SUGGESTED

The OS installed OK with github/virtualmin script a month or two ago.

But problem updating virtualmin packages: repo url is wrong!

What is the actual URL/mirror for Virtualmin GPL repos for Rocky Linux?

Update 1:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo

[virtualmin]
name=RHEL $releasever - $basearch - Virtualmin
baseurl=http://GPL:GPL@software.virtualmin.com/vm/7/gpl/rhel/$releasever/$basear                                        ch/
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin-7
gpgcheck=1

[virtualmin-universal]
name=Virtualmin Distribution Neutral Packages
baseurl=http://GPL:GPL@software.virtualmin.com/vm/7/gpl/universal/
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin-7
gpgcheck=1

Update 2: This is the error I get when I enable the above repos

[root@ns36 ~]# dnf -y update
RHEL 8 - x86_64 - Virtualmin                                                            333  B/s | 240  B     00:00

Hello,

The solution would be is to download development version of install.sh script (for now) and running it with --setup param, like this:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/virtualmin/virtualmin-install/master/virtualmin-install.sh
sh virtualmin-install.sh --setup

You don’t need to do anything else, not even to edit install.sh script to add your actual license. It will all be done automatically.

Oh my bad. Didn’t realize I already had virtualmin-install.sh and the latest one saved with .1

OK after doing
sh virtualmin-install.sh.1 --setup

dnf -y update ran without errors
