I use the server to host vanity-domains' web sites and, especially, email for my mother, my wife and myself (used to be more than that, but dad died and several friends ultimately decided that they were ok with @gmail.com domains).
At any rate, it's been an, uh, "adventure". Over time, some RPMs stop being updatable. Other RPMs seem to break things when they update. One of the "seem to break things" frequent-flyer RPMs is named's.
As part of running vanity domains, I run my own named server on my VPS. For security reasons, I run the named service chrooted. Every few updates, the RPMs will break the service's startup by changing ownerships or permissions in key directories used by the named service. While, like today's service-breaking ownership-change, I noticed the problem before rebooting, I often don't immediately notice. Usually something like a "why's email not coming in" message from my mom or wife will tip me off that (ultimately) named has failed to start (for one reason or another).
I didn't have these problems under prior (i.e., non "Stream") CentOS releases. I'm hoping that come time to update to EL 10, that my VPS-provider will have images for either nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqhkwjren6h669r2renmd986nr276s76nw3ryh0jtst9yfrg7rgvusc0r4vw (nprofile…r4vw) or nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqjeymtfgm73068dp6998vch279f6k9ckmzh7q30vlfkdwcm29q4eqastcw3 (nprofile…tcw3). It's (obviously) my further hope that one of those distros will prove to be more reliable than CentOS Stream 9 ever was.
