As a result, it stopped receiving proven, stable updates -and its use, especially in production environments, became risky. This is -a very serious problem for many companies and individuals around the world. So -there was an urgent need to find a new source of updates for CentOS in order -to keep it in the infrastructure. A complete solution to this problem is -support switching, that is, pointing to a new repository from which CentOS -will be downloading stable updates. Such a solution is offered by EuroLinux. -It is worth mentioning that both CentOS and RHEL and EuroLinux are systems -built on the same source code, so they provide the same functionality. They -differ mainly in branding. - -The operation of switching support is simple, reasonably safe and completely -reversible. What is very important, it requires neither reinstallation of the -system nor the applications installed on it. The process consists of switching -the repository, installing the el-release package, updating the system and -reinstalling the system packages in-place. -After the in-place migration, CentOS will still be usable, even in production -environments. - -All resources used in this tutorial can be found in the [additional -resources section](#additional-resources). - -## The solution - -A project named *eurolinux-migration-scripts* has been created. It contains -among others a script that will take care of the migration automatically. Here -we describe, how to perform the switch successfully. - -### Preparations - -It's vital that the system be updated to the newest release. Use the following -command: - -```bash -sudo yum update -y -``` - -### Running the migration script - -Then download the [latest production-ready -release](https://github.com/EuroLinux/eurolinux-migration-scripts/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) -of the project containing the script. Unpack the release, visit the -unpacked directory and run the script - usually this will require -right-clicking in the current directory, using the 'Open in Terminal' option -and running this command: - -```bash -sudo bash migrate2eurolinux.sh -``` - -Refer to the project's README for additional commands. - -### After the switch - -Once the migration has finished, it's recommended to reboot your system: - -```bash -sudo reboot -``` - -Once the system has rebooted, the migration process can be considered -complete. -In order to quickly verify that it was carried out successfully, we -can check the distribution description: - -```bash -cat /etc/el-release -``` - -As a result we should get a response about the distribution and latest -EuroLinux version. - -## Conclusion - -As you can see, the process is quick and seamless. You can switch the -repository for RHEL, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux the same way. -In each case, the process will look almost identical. - -If you have any questions or concerns, please submit them to the repository -linked in the [additional resources section](#additional-resources).

Warning "Limited support." - **Hybrid network installation from both ISO and public repositories - is not our primary goal in the QA process**.

You can also install additional package groups. - - - -#### Anaconda installer **SYSTEM** section: - -- **Installation selection** allows choosing on which disk the system will be - installed. If you want to have a fully encrypted system, you should enable - encryption in this step. -- **KDUMP** allows choosing if KDUMP (Kernel crash dump collection mechanism) - should be enabled. -- **Network & Hostname** - you can configure your system networking here -- **Security policy** - you can setup an additional openscap policy here - -#### Anaconda installer **USER SETTINGS** section: - -- **Root Password** - by default, the root user is disabled. If a user is - created in **User Creation** section, the root account can stay disabled -- **User Creation** section allows creating a regular user in the system. If - the *Make this user administrator* option is checked, the root account can be - disabled. - -**After applying all the necessary changes**, the installation can be started -with the "Begin Installation" button. - - -### Disk partition recommended minimums - -You need at least the following partitions. - -- `/boot` for Linux kernel and init ramdisks - 1GB -- `/` (root partition) - at least 10 GB (a very minimal system might use as - little as 2GB - but it requires extra attention and is not officially - supported by EuroLinux) - -For UEFI, an EFI system partition is also required. - -- `/boot/efi` - at least 100MB - -If your storage allows it, the following partitions are also highly -recommended: - -- `swap` - 1GB or more depending on the system RAM and workload. Swap is also - required for hibernation. Depending on the workload of the system, it should - be at least as spacious as system RAM. -- `/home` - at least 1GB - but in most cases, if `/` can be as big as 80GB, - then `/home/` usually takes the rest of the free space - -### Installing EuroLinux in basic graphic mode - -Suppose there is a problem loading/running your graphics card driver (it might -results in a black screen/error message or graphical artifacts). It's possible -to install EuroLinux in basic graphics mode. - -To do so, choose `Troubleshooting` on the welcome menu, and then *Install -EuroLinux 8 in basic graphics mode*. - -From this point the process is identical to a standard installation with GUI. - -### Installing EuroLinux in text mode - -To install EuroLinux in text mode: - -- Boot EuroLinux ISO -- Press ++esc++ to stop installation options selection timeout -- Press ++tab++ -- Add `inst.text` to the end of the kernel boot command line -- Press ++enter++ - - - -Before running the installation you have to provide all the necessary -information (represented as `!` in selection). It's a good idea to refresh the -menu with ++r+enter++ command shortly after the installer started. - - - -After customization you are ready to start your installation. - - - -### Other possibilities - -EuroLinux can also be installed in the following manner: - -- Automated installation with a kickstart file. -- Installation with PXE -- Installation via VNC - -Please consult upstream documentation about these topics. - -## Using EuroLinux - -From this point, you can use EuroLinux as any other RHEL™ based distribution. - -### Submitting a Request for Change - -We truly care.

It combines the look and functionality of Windows® and macOS® with the reliability and security of a server-based Enterprise Linux distribution.** - -## Overview - -EuroLinux Desktop is built upon the source code of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 9. However, it includes a number of changes to the user interface. These primarily concern the system's appearance and usability. GNOME extensions have been used for this purpose. In EuroLinux Desktop, they are pre-configured and available immediately after installation - "out of the box." In addition, the Polish language version of EuroLinux Desktop fills in the gaps in the Polish translations of the extensions and GNOME. - -## Appearance & Features - -In EuroLinux Desktop, there is a translucent dock (taskbar) at the bottom of the screen. It stores icons for favorite applications, notifications and running programs, a button that displays icons for all applications in high magnification, as well as date and time information. It is possible to change the position of the bar to the right, left or top of the desktop, as well as to customize it extensively. The user can customize its height, length, transparency, color, icon spacing and size. The system allows icons to be placed on the desktop as standard, and provides a window maximization and minimization function. - -EuroLinux Desktop disables the overview mode and the hotcorner function, which displays the preview mode when you hover the mouse over the top left corner of the screen. When you right-click on the wallpaper, additional menu items appear (including New Text Document). Notification icons from instant messaging or email programs have also been added. EuroLinux Desktop lets you switch day/night themes with a single click on the moon icon in the dock, and allows you to set a schedule for automatic theme switching based on the time of day. - -## Multimedia - -EuroLinux Desktop supports many media file formats (mp3, mpg, wma, ts, opus, ogg, mp4, flac, aiff, acc, ac3, avi), as well as the open codecs used for the popular mkv (Matroska) video files. Each of these formats can be run in the default Totem/Videos system player. - -## Office Suite - -EuroLinux Desktop includes the LibreOffice suite of office applications. It includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation editor, vector graphics editor, mathematical formula editor and relational database management system. - -## Software - -EuroLinux Desktop has been integrated with the Flathub repository, providing easy access to more than 2,000 free applications. They can be downloaded from the Software application and installed with a single click. The system also supports applications in AppImage format, the use of which is similar to programs with .exe or .msi extensions. However, in the case of EuroLinux Desktop, the AppImage application is always run from a non-privileged user. The system also allows the use of applications designed for Windows®, thanks to Steam®, Lutris or Wine. - diff --git a/docs/stylesheets/extra.css b/docs/stylesheets/extra.css deleted file mode 100644 index ff798e2..0000000 --- a/docs/stylesheets/extra.css +++ /dev/null @@ -1,10 +0,0 @@ -/*general styling*/ -.md-header {position: static!important;} -.md-header, .md-tabs {background-color: #005aa5!important;} .md-tabs {box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px #999} -.md-tabs__link, .md-tabs[data-md-state=hidden] .md-tabs__link {transition: none!important;} -.md-typeset h1, .md-typeset h2 {color: #222; font-weight: bold} -/*info boxes*/ -.md-typeset .info>.admonition-title, .md-typeset .info>summary, .md-typeset .todo>.admonition-title, .md-typeset .todo>summary {background-color: #f3f2fd;} -.md-typeset .admonition.info {border-color: #4051b5;} -.md-typeset .info>.admonition-title:before, .md-typeset .info>summary:before, .md-typeset .todo>.admonition-title:before, .md-typeset .todo>summary:before {background-color: #4051b5;} -.md-typeset p {margin-top: 4px} diff --git a/mkdocs.yml b/mkdocs.yml deleted file mode 100644 index 1e8fd64..0000000 --- a/mkdocs.yml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,43 +0,0 @@ -site_name: EuroLinux Documentation -site_author: EuroLinux Community -site_url: https://docs.euro-linux.com/ -repo_name: eurolinux-open-docs -repo_url: https://github.com/EuroLinux/eurolinux-open-docs - -# EuroLinux theme settings -theme: - name: material - custom_dir: overrides - logo: assets/favicon-white.png - favicon: assets/favicon.png - palette: - primary: indigo - font: - text: Ubuntu - code: Ubuntu Mono - language: en - features: - - navigation.tabs - - toc.integrate - - navigation.footer - icon: - repo: fontawesome/brands/github - -extra: - social: - - icon: fontawesome/solid/blog - link: https://euro-linux.com/blog - - icon: fontawesome/brands/github - link: https://github.com/EuroLinux/ - - icon: fontawesome/brands/linkedin - link: https://www.linkedin.com/company/eurolinux - - icon: fontawesome/brands/twitter - link: https://twitter.com/Euro_Linux -extra_css: - - stylesheets/extra.css - -markdown_extensions: - - admonition - - pymdownx.highlight - - pymdownx.superfences - - pymdownx.keys diff --git a/overrides/main.html b/overrides/main.html deleted file mode 100644 index 156aae3..0000000 --- a/overrides/main.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,22 +0,0 @@ -{% extends "base.html" %} -{% block extrahead %} - - -{% endblock %} -{% block scripts %} - - -sudo bash migrate2rocky9.sh -rv 9.4-{% endblock %} diff --git a/requirements.txt b/requirements.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 63f9fab..0000000 --- a/requirements.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,36 +0,0 @@ -Babel==2.13.0 -certifi==2023.7.22 -charset-normalizer==3.3.0 -click==8.1.7 -colorama==0.4.6 -ghp-import==2.1.0 -gitdb==4.0.10 -GitPython==3.1.41 -idna==3.7 -importlib-metadata==6.8.0 -Jinja2==3.1.4 -Markdown==3.5 -MarkupSafe==2.1.3 -mergedeep==1.3.4 -mkdocs==1.5.3 -mkdocs-git-revision-date-plugin==0.3.2 -mkdocs-material==9.4.4 -mkdocs-material-extensions==1.2 -packaging==23.2 -paginate==0.5.6 -pathspec==0.11.2 -platformdirs==3.11.0 -Pygments==2.16.1 -pymdown-extensions==10.3 -pyparsing==3.1.1 -python-dateutil==2.8.2 -PyYAML==6.0.1 -pyyaml_env_tag==0.1 -regex==2023.10.3 -requests==2.31.0 -six==1.16.0 -smmap==5.0.1 -typing-extensions==3.10.0.0 -urllib3==2.0.7 -watchdog==3.0.0 -zipp==3.17.0 diff --git a/search/search_index.json b/search/search_index.json index 185cbc5..aafd2bd 100644 --- a/search/search_index.json +++ b/search/search_index.json @@ -1 +1 @@ -{"config":{"lang":["en"],"separator":"[\\s\\-]+","pipeline":["stopWordFilter"]},"docs":[{"location":"","title":"EuroLinux","text":""},{"location":"#about-documentation","title":"About Documentation","text":"

With the end of 2021, CentOS ended its life in its stable form and started functioning as CentOS Stream, a development branch for Red Hat\u00ae Enterprise Linux\u00ae. As a result, it stopped receiving proven, stable updates and its use, especially in production environments, became risky. This is a very serious problem for many companies and individuals around the world. So there was an urgent need to find a new source of updates for CentOS in order to keep it in the infrastructure. A complete solution to this problem is support switching, that is, pointing to a new repository from which CentOS will be downloading stable updates. Such a solution is offered by EuroLinux. It is worth mentioning that both CentOS and RHEL and EuroLinux are systems built on the same source code, so they provide the same functionality. They differ mainly in branding.
The operation of switching support is simple, reasonably safe and completely reversible. What is very important, it requires neither reinstallation of the system nor the applications installed on it. The process consists of switching the repository, installing the el-release package, updating the system and reinstalling the system packages in-place. After the in-place migration, CentOS will still be usable, even in production environments.
All resources used in this tutorial can be found in the additional resources section.

"},{"location":"HowTo/centos8-eol-solution/#running-the-migration-script","title":"Running the migration script","text":"sudo yum update -y\nThen download the latest production-ready release of the project containing the script. Unpack the release, visit the unpacked directory and run the script - usually this will require right-clicking in the current directory, using the 'Open in Terminal' option and running this command:
sudo bash migrate2eurolinux.sh\nRefer to the project's README for additional commands.
"},{"location":"HowTo/centos8-eol-solution/#after-the-switch","title":"After the switch","text":"Once the migration has finished, it's recommended to reboot your system:
sudo reboot\nOnce the system has rebooted, the migration process can be considered complete. In order to quickly verify that it was carried out successfully, we can check the distribution description:
cat /etc/el-release\nAs a result we should get a response about the distribution and latest EuroLinux version.

- You want a standardized runtime environment across production, QA and developer scenarios.
- You want all the runtime environment's specification in a single file, what is easy to manage through version control systems.
- You want the environment to be reproducible. After all, it's just a matter of building an image from the specification and once it's done it is already self-documented on what steps were taken to cook the final image.
- You prefer a layered architecture and the ability to cache artifacts across several images and backup & restore the images easily.
In short: Docker containers utilize Linux's capabilities such as cgroups and namespaces to create an isolated environment and do not virtualize hardware. Therefore, they are way more lightweight than virtual machines and can be brought up in a large scale in a blink of an eye rather than waiting for a single virtual machine to boot.

Because of that, you might download EuroLinux from different sources. The two primary sources are:
- https://fbi.cdn.euro-linux.com/isos/ open for everyone
- https://customerportal.euro-linux.com for EuroLinux customers
The only difference is that Customer Portal keeps older versions, when CDN, that is used for mirroring, keeps only two of the latest ISOs for each version to save space (single EuroLinux BaseOS ISO might take up to 8 GB).
If you are running a huge deployment, you might consider setting up your own mirror and download ISOs from Intranet.

- For each EuroLinux ISO there's a file with its checksums and appropriate digest algorithms. Its name says, which algorithm was used to calculate the cryptographic digest. For example, you can browse https://fbi.cdn.euro-linux.com/isos/ and read the
sha1sums.txtfile.
When the ISO download is completed, you can invoke the
sha1sumcommand on the ISO file and check if checksums match.$ sha1sum EL-9.0-x86_64-20220613-appstream.iso \nd78eebb3472ddff2dcaf110907e42ccee0367f70 EL-9.0-x86_64-20220613-appstream.iso\n- The second mechanism for checking ISO integrity is built-in inside the installer itself.

EuroLinux 9, as well as previous versions, uses Anaconda installer that clearly informs the user what needs to be done in order to install the system.
First, you have to choose the language that will be used during installation: Hint: since the Anaconda installer on EuroLinux 9 activates a network connection automatically if applicable, it also determines the default language by the automatic location detection feature - in this case you can see that Polish has been automatically chosen.
After configuring the installer language you should see a menu similar to:

- Language support - additional languages packages that should be installed.
- Time & Date - configure the date, time zone, enable NTP and NTP servers.
Here you might configure the source of your installation. By default, the system installs from the ISO image itself. This is one of the officially supported ways to install EuroLinux.
If a NIC (Network Interface Card) has been enabled in the Network & Host Name installer section, you might add additional EuroLinux repositories and/or other repositories. If you add EuroLinux repositories, the installer will automatically download newer version of the packages.

Hybrid network installation from both ISO and public repositories is not our primary goal in the QA process. Packages in EuroLinux repositories are regularly updated, and it might be impossible to install a system from an external source. Depending on the state of the upstream, we might not fix a potential issue.
Below you can see an example configuration that was used to install a system - in this case the default 'Minimal' repository has been provided as the only one:
After changing the installation source, you will have to confirm Software Selection.

For UEFI, an EFI system partition is also required.
/boot/efi- at least 100MB
If your storage allows it, the following partitions are also highly recommended:
swap- 1GB or more depending on the system RAM and workload. Swap is also required for hibernation. Depending on the workload of the system, it should be at least as spacious as system RAM./home- at least 1GB - but in most cases, if/can be as big as 80GB, then/home/usually takes the rest of the free space

- All source packages (sources used to build EuroLinux and other Enterprise Linux distributions) are securely signed cryptographically
- The src.rpm is native format for distributions that leverage RPMs. It allows to use common toolchains like mock, rpmbuild, EuroLinux Gaia, Open Build Service, Koji and much more

Gaia build system was updated in all interested parties' environments. We had to select/order (with current long delivery times)/install hardware for aarch64. We also changed the rebuild policy. None of our customers was interested in using RHEL as a buildroot for their own Enterprise Linux forks. It means that EuroLinux must be released faster, but at the very same time, we can exclusively focus on providing EuroLinux in the early stages and thus release it faster. We also decided that the next version will be released asynchronously with more batch compilation. Batch compilation is scheduled for EuroLinux 9.0 and 8.6.

Maven 3.8 - module
mavenstream3.8was not introduced in this beta. Currently upstream didn't provide modules metadata for javapackages-tools:202201 and javapackages-bootstrap:202201 that are required to build Maven 3.8. The default profile for javapackages-tools:202201 is available in the Red Hat CodeReady-Builder repository but there is no modular metadata or RPMs.We manage to create this module in not reproducible way and in worst case scenario we will provide specially crafted VM to build it for orgs that are using Gaia Build System. We decided not to put this module as we are rebuilding EuroLinux multiple times and not reproducible rebuilds are next to impossible to maintain.

EuroLinux Desktop is a novelty in the operating system market. It combines the look and functionality of Windows\u00ae and macOS\u00ae with the reliability and security of a server-based Enterprise Linux distribution.
"},{"location":"release-notes/ELD/#overview","title":"Overview","text":"EuroLinux Desktop is built upon the source code of Red Hat\u00ae Enterprise Linux\u00ae 9. However, it includes a number of changes to the user interface. These primarily concern the system's appearance and usability. GNOME extensions have been used for this purpose. In EuroLinux Desktop, they are pre-configured and available immediately after installation - \"out of the box.\" In addition, the Polish language version of EuroLinux Desktop fills in the gaps in the Polish translations of the extensions and GNOME.
"},{"location":"release-notes/ELD/#appearance-features","title":"Appearance & Features","text":"In EuroLinux Desktop, there is a translucent dock (taskbar) at the bottom of the screen. It stores icons for favorite applications, notifications and running programs, a button that displays icons for all applications in high magnification, as well as date and time information. It is possible to change the position of the bar to the right, left or top of the desktop, as well as to customize it extensively. The user can customize its height, length, transparency, color, icon spacing and size. The system allows icons to be placed on the desktop as standard, and provides a window maximization and minimization function.
EuroLinux Desktop disables the overview mode and the hotcorner function, which displays the preview mode when you hover the mouse over the top left corner of the screen. When you right-click on the wallpaper, additional menu items appear (including New Text Document). Notification icons from instant messaging or email programs have also been added. EuroLinux Desktop lets you switch day/night themes with a single click on the moon icon in the dock, and allows you to set a schedule for automatic theme switching based on the time of day.

They can be downloaded from the Software application and installed with a single click. The system also supports applications in AppImage format, the use of which is similar to programs with .exe or .msi extensions. However, in the case of EuroLinux Desktop, the AppImage application is always run from a non-privileged user. The system also allows the use of applications designed for Windows\u00ae, thanks to Steam\u00ae, Lutris or Wine.

With the end of 2021, CentOS ended its life in its stable form and started functioning as CentOS Stream, a development branch for Red Hat\u00ae Enterprise Linux\u00ae. As a result, it stopped receiving proven, stable updates and its use, especially in production environments, became risky. This is a very serious problem for many companies and individuals around the world. So there was an urgent need to find a new source of updates for CentOS in order to keep it in the infrastructure. A complete solution to this problem is support switching, that is, pointing to a new repository from which CentOS will be downloading stable updates. Such a solution is offered by EuroLinux. It is worth mentioning that both CentOS and RHEL and EuroLinux are systems built on the same source code, so they provide the same functionality. They differ mainly in branding.
The operation of switching support is simple, reasonably safe and completely reversible. What is very important, it requires neither reinstallation of the system nor the applications installed on it. The process consists of switching the repository, installing the el-release package, updating the system and reinstalling the system packages in-place. After the in-place migration, CentOS will still be usable, even in production environments.
All resources used in this tutorial can be found in the additional resources section.
"},{"location":"HowTo/centos8-eol-solution/#the-solution","title":"The solution","text":"A project named eurolinux-migration-scripts has been created. It contains among others a script that will take care of the migration automatically. Here we describe, how to perform the switch successfully.

"},{"location":"HowTo/centos8-eol-solution/#running-the-migration-script","title":"Running the migration script","text":"sudo yum update -y\nThen download the latest production-ready release of the project containing the script. Unpack the release, visit the unpacked directory and run the script - usually this will require right-clicking in the current directory, using the 'Open in Terminal' option and running this command:
sudo bash migrate2eurolinux.sh\nRefer to the project's README for additional commands.

sudo reboot\nOnce the system has rebooted, the migration process can be considered complete. In order to quickly verify that it was carried out successfully, we can check the distribution description:
cat /etc/el-release\nAs a result we should get a response about the distribution and latest EuroLinux version.
"},{"location":"HowTo/centos8-eol-solution/#conclusion","title":"Conclusion","text":"As you can see, the process is quick and seamless. You can switch the repository for RHEL, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux the same way. In each case, the process will look almost identical.

- locally copied to the machine that will be using it
- added to ISOs pool of Virtual Machine manager/orchestrator or cloud computing platform of your choice

- You want a standardized runtime environment across production, QA and developer scenarios.
- You want all the runtime environment's specification in a single file, what is easy to manage through version control systems.
- You want the environment to be reproducible. After all, it's just a matter of building an image from the specification and once it's done it is already self-documented on what steps were taken to cook the final image.
- You prefer a layered architecture and the ability to cache artifacts across several images and backup & restore the images easily.
In short: Docker containers utilize Linux's capabilities such as cgroups and namespaces to create an isolated environment and do not virtualize hardware. Therefore, they are way more lightweight than virtual machines and can be brought up in a large scale in a blink of an eye rather than waiting for a single virtual machine to boot.

As an example unrelated to Vagrant: Virt-Manager allows you to get a similar GUI experience out of KVM as that of e.g. VirtualBox, it is fully Free Software (no worrying about licensing shenanigans) and is more modular - in fact, there is a libvirt VirtualBox driver out there.

The following procedure covers all of this and has been tested to work well with EuroLinux 8.5.

- All source packages (sources used to build EuroLinux and other Enterprise Linux distributions) are securely signed cryptographically
- The src.rpm is native format for distributions that leverage RPMs. It allows to use common toolchains like mock, rpmbuild, EuroLinux Gaia, Open Build Service, Koji and much more

- Because we changed the business model to open core, there is no longer a need to use FBI (free base image) repositories as they are a subset of entire repositories. FBI repos are removed from the
el-releasepackage. - EuroLinux 8.4 is first version that can use
BaseOS-all,AppStream-allandPowerTools-allrepositories that contain all packages produced during build process. However, these packages are not supported by upstream or EuroLinux. - EuroLinux by default uses Docker Hub instead of Quay.

Gaia build system was updated in all interested parties' environments. We had to select/order (with current long delivery times)/install hardware for aarch64. We also changed the rebuild policy. None of our customers was interested in using RHEL as a buildroot for their own Enterprise Linux forks. It means that EuroLinux must be released faster, but at the very same time, we can exclusively focus on providing EuroLinux in the early stages and thus release it faster. We also decided that the next version will be released asynchronously with more batch compilation. Batch compilation is scheduled for EuroLinux 9.0 and 8.6.

Maven 3.8 - module
mavenstream3.8was not introduced in this beta. Currently upstream didn't provide modules metadata for javapackages-tools:202201 and javapackages-bootstrap:202201 that are required to build Maven 3.8. The default profile for javapackages-tools:202201 is available in the Red Hat CodeReady-Builder repository but there is no modular metadata or RPMs.We manage to create this module in not reproducible way and in worst case scenario we will provide specially crafted VM to build it for orgs that are using Gaia Build System. We decided not to put this module as we are rebuilding EuroLinux multiple times and not reproducible rebuilds are next to impossible to maintain.

- Although references for EuroLinux 8 have been left in place, the current package is designed for EuroLinux 9 - please kindly use packages for older releases if you need to check them for security policies.
GNOME has been updated to GNOME 40, a major step forward from EuroLinux 8's GNOME 3.32.2 , which includes many new features.
GNOME 40 includes a new and improved style, including the user interface, icons and desktop, The Activities look and feel provides a better experience when working, launching applications and arranging your personal workspace - workspaces are now arranged horizontally and the window overview and application grid are available vertically.
Many Quality of Life improvements have also been added, including:
- running the software using a separate graphics card by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate option
- The ability to mute notifications by selecting Do not disturb, which will appear as a separate button in the notification
- Each screen can use a different refresh rate
- The Activities program allows you to group application icons into folders using a drag-and-drop method
- provide the ability to fractionally scale the display

- ~~There is only minimal ISO. AppStream complete ISO be published next week (the first week of April)~~ Update: AppStream ISO is available.
- SCAP is not usable. A fix will arrive with EuroLinux 9 beta for ARM64
- Until GA we will not rebuild other Enterprise Linuxes as it is pointless
- There might be branding issues. If you find one, please create an issue in our public bug tracker

The battery repository is available for customers with Golden Key and Gaia subscriptions. There are about 1000 packages that are not part of any build (so they are not included in EuroLinux Open Build roots) but are required to rebuild EuroLinux/Custom Fork from RHEL or Eurolinux sources.

Because creating EuroLinux 9 beta took us about four weeks, ARM should take about two weeks, after updating Gaia Stack, as we have all the necessary batteries and build orders figured out.

Other notable changes:
- Striga now creates
automodule-*commands - Striga can create
--partialcommands for module rebuild - Vardoger now supports config files that allows ignoring chosen tests/levels for selected RPMs
- A lot of new configs for EuroLinux 9

GNOME has been updated to GNOME 40, a major step forward from EuroLinux 8's GNOME 3.32.2 , which includes many new features.
GNOME 40 includes a new and improved style, including the user interface, icons and desktop, The Activities look and feel provides a better experience when working, launching applications and arranging your personal workspace - workspaces are now arranged horizontally and the window overview and application grid are available vertically.
Many Quality of Life improvements have also been added, including:
- running the software using a separate graphics card by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate option
- The ability to mute notifications by selecting Do not disturb, which will appear as a separate button in the notification
- Each screen can use a different refresh rate
- The Activities program allows you to group application icons into folders using a drag-and-drop method
- provide the ability to fractionally scale the display
EuroLinux 9 provides refreshed and updated versions of the following packages:
- m4 was updated from version
1.4.18to1.4.19 - xdp-tools was updated from version
1.1.1to1.2.1 - openchange was updated from
2.3(version)37(release) to2.3(version)38(release) - tigervnc was updated from
1.11.0(version)20(release) to1.11.0(version)21(release)
We expect updated versions of these packages to be available in the GA version of RHEL.

-Introduction
-This how-to provides a solution to the problem of CentOS 8 running out of -support.
-
-With the end of 2021, CentOS ended its life in its stable form -and started functioning as CentOS Stream, a development branch for Red Hat® -Enterprise Linux®. As a result, it stopped receiving proven, stable updates -and its use, especially in production environments, became risky. This is -a very serious problem for many companies and individuals around the world. So -there was an urgent need to find a new source of updates for CentOS in order -to keep it in the infrastructure. A complete solution to this problem is -support switching, that is, pointing to a new repository from which CentOS -will be downloading stable updates. Such a solution is offered by EuroLinux. -It is worth mentioning that both CentOS and RHEL and EuroLinux are systems -built on the same source code, so they provide the same functionality. They -differ mainly in branding.The operation of switching support is simple, reasonably safe and completely -reversible. What is very important, it requires neither reinstallation of the -system nor the applications installed on it. The process consists of switching -the repository, installing the el-release package, updating the system and -reinstalling the system packages in-place. -After the in-place migration, CentOS will still be usable, even in production -environments.
-All resources used in this tutorial can be found in the additional -resources section.
-The solution
-A project named eurolinux-migration-scripts has been created. It contains -among others a script that will take care of the migration automatically. Here -we describe, how to perform the switch successfully.
-Preparations
-It's vital that the system be updated to the newest release. Use the following -command:
--sudo yum update -y -Running the migration script
-Then download the latest production-ready -release -of the project containing the script. Unpack the release, visit the -unpacked directory and run the script - usually this will require -right-clicking in the current directory, using the 'Open in Terminal' option -and running this command:
--sudo bash migrate2eurolinux.sh -Refer to the project's README for additional commands.
-After the switch
-Once the migration has finished, it's recommended to reboot your system:
--sudo reboot -Once the system has rebooted, the migration process can be considered -complete.
-
-In order to quickly verify that it was carried out successfully, we -can check the distribution description:-cat /etc/el-release -As a result we should get a response about the distribution and latest -EuroLinux version.
-Conclusion
-As you can see, the process is quick and seamless. You can switch the -repository for RHEL, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux the same way. -In each case, the process will look almost identical.
-If you have any questions or concerns, please submit them to the repository -linked in the additional resources section. Thank you.

Mounting ISO from local file
-Mounting local ISO file is as simple as:
--sudo mount -o loop /PATH/TO/ISO /MOUNT/PATH -example:
--sudo mount -o loop /var/eurolinux-repos.iso /mnt/mirror -Mounting ISO from virtual cd-rom device
-Mounting CD-ROM device is as simple as:
--sudo mount /dev/DEVICE /MOUNT/PATH -The following example has ISO mounted as CD-ROM device
-/dev/sr0:-sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/mirror -Using locally mounted ISO with RPM repositories
-To use the repositories, that the ISO file provides, create a proper
-.repo-file that resides inside/etc/yum.repos.d/directory.Here is an example

-How to set up your Docker Community Edition installation.
-Introduction
-Use cases
-Consider the following examples:
--
-
- You want a standardized runtime environment across production, QA and - developer scenarios. -
- You want all the runtime environment's specification in a single file, what - is easy to manage through version control systems. -
- You want the environment to be reproducible. After all, it's just a matter of - building an image from the specification and once it's done it is already -self-documented on what steps were taken to cook the final image. -
- You prefer a layered architecture and the ability to cache artifacts across - several images and backup & restore the images easily. -
Why use Docker containers over virtual machines?
-In short: Docker containers utilize Linux's capabilities such as cgroups and -namespaces to create an isolated environment and do not virtualize hardware. -Therefore, they are way more lightweight than virtual machines and can be -brought up in a large scale in a blink of an eye rather than waiting for a -single virtual machine to boot.
-For more information, take a look at our blog entry on the basics of -containerization.
-System requirements
-The following operating systems and architectures are covered by this guide:
--
-
- EuroLinux 8 on the x86_64 and aarch64 architecture. -
- EuroLinux 7 on the x86_64 architecture. -
Make sure the containers you want to run are of the same architecture as your -machine.
-If you need support with installation on the EuroLinux releases this guide does -not cover, please create an appropriate ticket.
-Installation
-EuroLinux 8
-The following steps are based on Docker, Inc. official guide as of -2022.02.01. -We will just use the commands provided as snippets for a quick way of copying -& pasting one snippet for a successful installation.
-The following snippet installs Docker on EuroLinux 8.6. Other releases may work -as well, but have not been tested. Once a new EuroLinux release is out, this -guide will be updated.
---Docker installation removes podman and buildah
-Please note that this operation will replace runc with containerd.io -and remove both podman and buildah.

-EuroLinux provides their own builds of Docker for EuroLinux 7.
-Please prepare your EuroMan credentials and enable the -
-el-server-7-extras-x86_64channel first, like so:-sudo rhn-channel -u "$el_euroman_user" -p "$el_euroman_password" -c el-server-7-extras-x86_64 -a -Then you are ready to install Docker:
--sudo yum install -y docker -sudo systemctl enable docker --now -What's next?
-EuroLinux provides several Docker images for you to -use. They are publicly available and free -of charge. Take a look at our entry EuroLinux docker images are now -available -for more information. Additionally, we provide a quick guide for having the -images up and running in no time.

-This guide is about how to switch your repositories to the ones provided by EuroLinux Extended Life Support.
-Introduction
-Enterprise Linuxes 6 ended their life a few years ago. Still, security updates can be provided by several vendors for a fee. That's where EuroELS comes in. You can extend the lifecycle of your Enterprise Linux up to the half of 2024.
-How to migrate
-First, make sure that your system is up to date. It should be CentOS 6.10 (minor version 10).
--su -yum update -y -Second, in accordance with good practice, we recommend backing up your machine.
-Please download the migration script available at this location:
-https://github.com/EuroLinux/eurolinux-migration-scripts.git
--wget https://github.com/EuroLinux/eurolinux-migration-scripts/archive/refs/heads/el6-only-switch-repos.zip -Please unpack the downloaded file:
--unzip el6-only-switch-repos.zip -and navigate to the script's directory:
--cd eurolinux-migration-scripts-el6-only-switch-repos -To start the switching process, just run the script with administrator privileges:
--./migrate2eurolinux.sh -Once the command is executed, we'll get a recommendation to make a backup. Type YES to make the script continue.
-The script will ask us about our EuroMan credentials. We provide our login and password when asked.
-The repository switch has completed successfully. We can now update our Enterprise Linux 6 with the command:

-Enabling High Availability and Resilient Storage repository with yum-config-manager
-The
-yum-config-managercommand is part of theyum-utilspackage. Firstly -let's install that package:-sudo yum install -y yum-utils -Then enable Resilient Storage and High Availability repository with the -following command:
--sudo yum-config-manager --enable high-availability -sudo yum-config-manager --enable resilient-storage -Installing HA and/or Resilient Storage
-Both High Availability and Resilient Storage have rpm groups, so installing -them is trivial.
-To install the High Availability add-on, invoke the following command:
--sudo yum install -y @ha -To install the Resilient Storage add-on, invoke the following command:
--sudo yum install -y @resilient-storage -Basic HA configuration
-Configuring firewalld
-Before configuring a firewall, it's appropriate to check if firewalld is actually -running. The standard
-systemctl is-activecommand is one of the options.-systemctl is-active firewalld -For a system that has firewalld started and enabled, you might use good -enough configuration with:
--sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=high-availability -sudo firewall-cmd --reload -Starting pcsd
-After configuring a firewall, you can start and enable pcsd (PCS GUI and remote -configuration interface) with the following commands: -
-sudo systemctl start pcsd.service -sudo systemctl enable pcsd.service -To make a very basic test of the pcsd installation, we recommend setting -
-haclusteruser password. Asrootuser, you can, for example invoke:-# echo "secret-pass" | passwd hacluster --stdin -Then login into Pacemaker/Corosync configuration. Use the machine address on -port 2224 (example:
-https://MACHINE_IP:2224) in your browser. The -username ishaclusterwith password you set in previous step.--HTTPS Required
-Web browser like Firefox and other programs like cURL will report -"Connection reset by peer" or "The connection was reset" when connecting -with cleartext HTTP. -
-[root@test1 pcsd]# curl localhost:2224 -curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer -From this point you can freely configure High Availability and Resilient -Storage. We recommend using upstream documentation provided in Additional Links -below.

-EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository is one of the most -popular third-party repositories for the Enterprise Linux family. From the 4th -November EuroLinux team included the original
-epel-releasepackage from EPEL in -the BaseOS repo. It was the most voted small quality of life change during our -first community meeting. The package is re-signed with a EuroLinux GPG key, so -there is no need to accept an external key to install this particular package.The package version will be checked and updated if necessary during minor -releases.
---EPEL is an external repository that is community supported
-As a company, we cannot provide proper care in terms of security, quality, -support and lifecycle standards on a third-party repository. Nevertheless, the -EPEL repository has a great history of community support.
-Installing EPEL on EuroLinux
-Installing EPEL on EuroLinux 8 and EuroLinux 7 is as simple as:
--sudo yum install -y epel-release ---EPEL is enabled by default
-The base EPEL repository is enabled by default for modular (EuroLinux 8) -and non-modular packages. You can enable debuginfo and source packages in -respective

-The official way
-EuroLinux 7 is not open-core; therefore, only organizations with a proper -license (EuroMan or Golden Key) can mirror it freely.
---We know
-We are well aware that it is possible to mirror repos even with a single -license. You can read about that below.
-The official way to mirror EuroLinux repositories is the following:
--
-
- You need a proper subscription, like EuroMan or Golden Key -
- EuroLinux engineer will provide you with SSL certificates that we will name
-
repo.keyandrepo.crtand CA that we will nameca.crt
-
Create the directory
-/etc/yum-mirror-config/. -With the repokeys residing in that directory, create the file -/etc/yum-mirror-config/mirror_yum.confwith the contents:-[main] -cachedir=/var/cache/yum/mirror/$basearch/$releasever -keepcache=0 -debuglevel=2 -logfile=/var/log/mirror-yum.log -exactarch=0 -obsoletes=0 -gpgcheck=0 -plugins=0 -reposdir=/dev/null - -[eurolinux-os-7] -name=el7_x86_64_os -baseurl=https://cdn.euro-linux.com/dist/eurolinux/server/7/x86_64/os/ -sslclientkey=/etc/yum-mirror-config/repo.key -sslclientcrt=/etc/yum-mirror-config/repo.crt -sslcacert=/etc/yum-mirror-config/ca.crt - -[eurolinux-updates-7] -name=el7_x86_64_updates -baseurl=https://cdn.euro-linux.com/dist/eurolinux/server/7/x86_64/updates/ -sslclientkey=/etc/yum-mirror-config/repo.key -sslclientcrt=/etc/yum-mirror-config/repo.crt -sslcacert=/etc/yum-mirror-config/ca.crt -Then invoke the command
-reposyncwith the following arguments:-reposync -d -m --download-metadata -c /etc/yum-mirror-config/mirror_yum.conf -p /repos -When the download finishes, the next step is to create repodata and enable -groups.
--cd /repos/eurolinux-os-7/; createrepo . -g comps.xml -cd /repos/eurolinux-updates-7/; createrepo . -g comps.xml ---Info
-Enabling updateinfo (erratas information) is a little bit tricky, because -firstly you have to find the newest updateinfo, unpack it, then invoke -modifyrepo script. It can be automated with the script below.
--REPO_DIR=/repos/eurolinux-os-7/ -unset -v LAST_UI -# finding the newest file -for file in "$REPO_DIR"/*updateinfo.xml.gz; do - [[ "$file" -nt "$LAST_UI" ]] && LAST_UI=$file -done -# unpacking to updateinfo.xml file -sudo gunzip -c "$LAST_UI" > "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" -# Depending on the system - some has modifrepo.py script some has "normal" command -/usr/share/createrepo/modifyrepo.py "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" "$REPO_DIR/repodata" || modifyrepo "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" "$REPO_DIR/repodata" - -REPO_DIR=/repos/eurolinux-updates-7/ -unset -v LAST_UI -for file in "$REPO_DIR"/*updateinfo.xml.gz; do - [[ $file -nt $LAST_UI ]] && LAST_UI=$file -done -sudo gunzip -c "$LAST_UI" > "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" -# Depending on the system - some has modifrepo.py script some has "normal" command -/usr/share/createrepo/modifyrepo.py "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" "$REPO_DIR/repodata" || modifyrepo "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" "$REPO_DIR/repodata" -The unsupported way
-There is also the possibility to mirror EuroLinux repositories even with a -single or even test subscription.
---True Product – Real Support – Fair Price
-We are faithful to our values. We also know that it's always possible to -cheat and not play fair. Please be aware that during support inqury, we -might check if your system is registered and supported. To this day, we -always had pleasure to work with honest companies - please don't ruin that.
---Mirroring other distros
-The instruction allows cloning other distros, including paid ones. If you -want to mirror paid Linux distribution, note that this might breach the -license/license agreement.
-You can mirror EuroLinux or other Enterprise Linux repositories with the -following step:
--
-
- Register your system with
rhn_registercommand for EuroLinux or another way - to mirror another system repositories.
-
Then run the following snippet as root:
--reposync -d -m --download-metadata --plugins -r el-server-7-x86_64 -p /repos/ -# recreating repodata and updateinfo -REPO_DIR=/repos/el-server-7-x86_64/ -cd /repos/el-server-7-x86_64/; createrepo . -g comps.xml -unset -v LAST_UI -for file in "$REPO_DIR"/*updateinfo.xml.gz; do - [[ $file -nt $LAST_UI ]] && LAST_UI=$file -done -sudo gunzip -c "$LAST_UI" > "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" -# Depending on the system - some has modifrepo.py script some has "normal" command -/usr/share/createrepo/modifyrepo.py "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" "$REPO_DIR/repodata" || modifyrepo "$REPO_DIR/updateinfo.xml" "$REPO_DIR/repodata" -Mirroring EuroLinux 6 ELS
-First, register your system to EuroLinux EuroMan with the migration scripts - use the
-el6-only-switch-reposbranch for this.Once the system has been registered and is receiving EL6 ELS updates, you can mirror the ELS packages with the following commands. Run them as root:

-Introduction
-This guide covers the installation of libvirt and related tools along with the -Vagrant plugin that allows using libvirt as a provider. This has been tested on -a clean installation of EuroLinux 8.5 - only Vagrant has been installed already -as described in Vagrant jumpstart.
-Terminology
--
-
- QEMU - a generic machine emulator -
- KVM - a virtualisation solution that is native to Linux. Used by QEMU to - achieve near-native performances by executing the guest code directly on - the host CPU -
- libvirt - a management suite for several hypervisors -
While libvirt can manage many virtualisation solutions, in the context of this -document libvirt refers to: QEMU with KVM managed by libvirt.
-Why prefer libvirt over providers such as VirtualBox?
-As mentioned, KVM is a native virtualisation solution to Linux. This means a -significant performance -boost -when compared to other providers at the slight cost of portability - if you run -Linux only, then this is your solution of choice!
-If you have never used libvirt before and just heard about it in this how-to, -there are several goodies worth mentioning. As an example unrelated to Vagrant: -Virt-Manager allows you to get a similar GUI experience out of KVM as that of -e.g. VirtualBox, it is fully Free Software (no worrying about licensing -shenanigans) and is more modular - in fact, there is a libvirt VirtualBox -driver out there.
-Install the plugin
-Normally one would invoke a single command:
-vagrant plugin install -vagrant-libvirtand the plugin would work well out-of-the-box. This is not the -case for Linux distributions from the Enterprise Linux family and Upstream is -aware of that, but as of -today (2021.12.21) it doesn't appear to be resolved.Because of that, you'll need to build additional components and use them with -your Vagrant installation. The following procedure covers all of this and has -been tested to work well with EuroLinux 8.5.
-Use these commands:
--[ "$(command -v vagrant)" ] || \ -( read -p "Install Vagrant first before running the following commands" \ - && exit 1 ) - -sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Virtualization Host" -y -sudo dnf install cmake libvirt-devel ruby-devel -y - -mkdir krb5 -cd krb5 -wget https://vault.cdn.euro-linux.com/sources/eurolinux/8/baseos/x86_64/Packages/k/krb5-1.18.2-8.el8.src.rpm -rpm2cpio krb5*.src.rpm | cpio -idmv -tar xf krb5*.tar.gz -cd krb5*/src -./configure -make -sudo cp -P lib/crypto/libk5crypto.* /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib64/ -cd - -mkdir libssh -cd libssh -wget https://vault.cdn.euro-linux.com/sources/eurolinux/8/baseos/x86_64/Packages/l/libssh-0.9.4-3.el8.src.rpm -rpm2cpio libssh*.src.rpm | cpio -idmv -tar xf libssh*.tar.xz -mkdir build -cd build -cmake ../libssh-*/ -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/opt/vagrant/embedded/ -make -sudo cp lib/libssh* /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib64 -cd - -vagrant plugin install vagrant-libvirt && rm -rf krb5 libssh -sudo usermod -a -G libvirt $USER -Next, log out from all of your sessions (graphical and text) and log in again. -From now on you should be able to run Vagrant boxes with libvirt if all -requirements have been satisfied, e.g. you don't have any other providers -enabled (an equivalent of deploying this guide on a clean installation).

-How to set up your VirtualBox installation.
-Introduction
-Use cases
-Consider the following examples:
--
-
- You use software that doesn't work on your EuroLinux 8 installation. -
- You want to try out some potentially dangerous actions and don't want to - endanger your machine. -
- You develop some awesome software and want to test it on several systems for - compatibility -
- You want an easily reproducible environment that works the same way on every - person's machine -
- You need a multi-machine laboratory, maybe with several different systems and - don't have the resources for a physical equipment -
Why use it over other virtualisation providers?
-VirtualBox is the provider with a copyleft license and a focus on -interoperability when it comes to supporting different platforms. This allows -you to cooperate with someone running a different operating system and when -exchanging documentation - once written it's applicable to anyone that can run -the software.
-
-New VirtualBox versions usually support older operating systems too. One can -enjoy the new features on a system, which has recently reached its End of Life, -which can be indispensable for a company that can't migrate yet.System requirements
-A brief documentation is available at -Upstream's.
-Your machine shall support hardware virtualisation. If it doesn't, you either -need to perform additional troubleshooting - e.g. enable virtualisation in your -machine's BIOS settings.
--[ $(grep -cE 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo) -gt 0 ] && echo "OK" -Make sure you're running EuroLinux 8 on x86_64 architecture rather than ARM.
--[ "$(arch)" == "x86_64" ] && echo "OK" -Installation on EuroLinux 8
-As of today (2 September 2021), 6.1 is the main VirtualBox branch and this is -the one we install in this guide.
-
-Assuming your account has been made an administrator during the system -installation process, simply run these commands for an installation:-sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" -y -sudo dnf config-manager \ - --add-repo=https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/el/virtualbox.repo -sudo dnf install VirtualBox-6.1 -y -VirtualBox should be ready to use!
-USB devices
-If you want VirtualBox to support USB devices for your system account, run -this command as well:
--sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER -then log out of your graphical session and log in again.
-Extension Pack
-VirtualBox doesn't support certain technologies out-of-the-box, e.g. USB -2.0/3.0 or builtin disk encryption, among others. If you want them to be -supported, you will need VirtualBox Extension Pack. Make sure you have read -its license and understand -its implications - you're responsible for compliance.
-
-You may want to read Upstream's -FAQ for a quick start.Once you're sure you'll be able to comply with the licensing terms, run these -commands to install the Extension Pack:
--export vbox_version="$(VBoxManage --version | cut -d'r' -f 1)" -wget "https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/$vbox_version/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-$vbox_version.vbox-extpack" -yes | sudo VBoxManage extpack install --replace Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-$vbox_version.vbox-extpack -Troubleshooting
-I can't enable hardware virtualisation and prefer software emulation
-As Upstream -says, -for software mode you'll need VirtualBox branch 6.0 or older.
--
-Please also use version 6.0 if you need to run VMs with software -virtualization, as this has been discontinued in 6.1.
-Additional resources
-Upstream's release pages
-If you prefer a manual download, check out Upstream's Linux release -pages and use the one they -provide for RHEL 8.
-RPM Fusion
-Alternatively you can use RPM Fusion repository for -installation. The software might differ in branding a bit and only the latest -release is provided. Use these commands:
-- - - - - - -sudo dnf localinstall \ - https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm -y -sudo dnf localinstall --nogpgcheck \ - https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/el/rpmfusion-free-release-8.noarch.rpm -y -sudo dnf install VirtualBox -y -sudo akmods --kernels $(uname -r) && sudo systemctl restart vboxdrv.service -- -- - - - - - - -Quick markdown and extensions guide - EuroLinux Documentation - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - Skip to content - - --- -- - - - -- - - - -- - - - - - - - - --- - - - -- - - - - - - - -- --- - -- - - - - - - - -Quick markdown and extensions guide
-The first part of this guide is loosely based on Adam Pritchard markdown-here -cheatsheet. -We include it here for contributors as reference and show how different pieces -will be styled. If you are familiar with markdown, and want to skip to this -project specific extensions they start with Admonition:
-Headers
-Headers are created with
#. --# H1 This is is reserved for page title/name -## H2 [Contribution guide] is h2 -### H3 [Headers] is h3 -... -###### H6 -This is fourth header
-This is fifth header
-This is sixth header
-Headers are essentials, because table of content is based on them.
-Emphasis
--Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores. -Emphasis, aka italics, with *asterisks* or _underscores_. - -Strong emphasis, aka bold, with **asterisks** or __underscores__. - -Combined emphasis with **asterisks and _underscores_**. - -Strikethrough uses two tildes. ~~Scratch this.~~ -Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.
-Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.
-Strikethrough uses two tildes. ~~Scratch this.~~
-List
---Proper markdown required
-MK-Docs has proper markdown list ordering that is 1 to 1 with markdown standard.
- -TLDR: You have indent sub-list and paragraps with 4 spaces
-(In this example, leading and trailing spaces are shown with with dots: ⋅) -
-1. First ordered list item -2. Another item -⋅⋅⋅⋅* Unordered sub-list. -1. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number -⋅⋅⋅⋅1. Ordered sub-list -4. And another item. - -⋅⋅⋅⋅To create paragraph within list item you need newline and four leading spaces. To have a line⋅⋅ -⋅⋅⋅⋅break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces. - -!!! info Python markdown quirk - Python-Markdown won't reset list without paragraph. Even if list types are - not compatybile (ordered vs unordered) - -* Unordered list can use asterisks -- Or minuses -+ Or pluses --
-
- First ordered list item -
- Another item
-
-
- Unordered sub-list. -
- - Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
-
-
- Ordered sub-list -
- -
-
And another item.
-To create paragraph within list item you need newline and four leading spaces. To have a line
-
-break without a paragraph, you use two trailing spaces.
-
--Python markdown quirk
-Python-Markdown won't reset list without paragraph. Even if list types are -not compatybile (ordered vs unordered)
--
-
- Unordered list can use asterisks -
- Or minuses -
- Or pluses -
Code blocks
-To add code block use (without leading space) -
-```python - # nice - for i in range(69, 420): - print(i) - ``` -Example: -
-# nice -for i in range(69, 420): - print(i) -Admonition
