Gluster users - Aug 2022 - Right way to use community Gluster on genuine RHEL?

Rocky Linux, Alma , OEL, Springale -> they are all EL derivatives and they
should work the same.I had a talk with the Rocky guys and they still don't
have a Storage SIG (they don't want to duplicate the CentOS Storage SIG) for
Gluster.Yet, when I asked the CentOS Storage SIG about the situation after the
CentOS Stream goes end of life -> there was no definitive answer.
As long as CentOS Stream is alive -> use the Storage SIG or compile from
source and then make your rpms (as per the documentation).
Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov?

install anything is via ansible playbooks/roles and for glusterfs we do the
same.? Not just creating the cluster and volumes, also some other stuff like
extending volumes, enabling snapshots etc.
Modified our regular ansible-role slightly to work with CentOS8/Rocky8 (or any
other) and published this
on?https://github.com/royen99/ansible-role-glusterfs.To use it with actual RHEL
system it needs the codeready-builder repo instead of the PowerTools repo.Hope
it can be of use to anyone.

 Where are there official Red Hat Gluster 10 RPMs for RHEL?
 
 
  There's no such thing. Let's not confuse the upstream Gluster project
and Red Hat product - RHGS (Red Hat Gluster Storage), which has a different
version[1] and lifecycle[2] than the project. Red Hat does not build upstream
project official RPMs for RHEL.
  That being said, I'm somewhat surprised the?CentOS RPMs don't work on
RHEL - is that indeed the case? Y.

I know, I was being something of a smartass. Sorry if that was not clear. 
 
 
I am interested in trying the latest, community versions of Samba-416 and
Gluster-10 on RHEL. That was why I was asking the question. Sure, I can
absolutely use the Red Hat Gluster Storage software from the official repos, but
I am interested in playing with the latest and greatest community bits... but on
RHEL. I *can* use CentOS, but I prefer to use genuine RHEL. I was wondering if
there was a "right" way of doing so. I am playing with the CentOS
Gluster-10 and Samba-416 repos just to learn. It looks like they work just fine
once I enabled EPEL and those CentOS repos.
 
 
I was more checking to see if there were any problems just enabling the CentOS
Storage SIG repos on RHEL. So far, it does not appear that there are problems.
So far, it seems to be working.
 
Thanks for all the responses. I appreciate them.
 
Thomas

I'm not sure asking the Storage SIG is the right thing to do.  The SIGs are
subject to whatever CentOS decides.

E.g. if you look at C6 vs C7 on http://mirror.centos.org/centos/, the SIG
repos are there (obviously) for C7, but *everything* is gone for C6 (and
earlier) including all the SIG repos.  (But it is all achieved on
https://vault.centos.org/ so it's not truly gone.)

If everything in Stream8 and everything related to Stream8 gets removed at
Stream8's EOL by CentOS, that's nothing to do with the SIGs.

I kinda suspect that some Stream8 stuff will stick around for a little
while, but we ? i.e. the SIGs ? are not part of that decision process.

And I pretty much guarantee that all the build infra around Stream8 will
get torn down pretty quickly and there won't be any further updates to any
of the software.
