AlmaLinux tutorials

AlmaLinux server guides — dnf, EPEL, systemd, and RHEL-compatible install and configuration steps.

AlmaLinux is a community-driven, RHEL-compatible enterprise Linux distribution widely used when teams want binary-compatible packages without a Red Hat subscription.

Guides in this section use dnf, firewalld, SELinux, and systemd—the same toolchain you will see on RHEL and Rocky Linux.

Browse install walkthroughs, repository setup (including EPEL), and server configuration aimed at AlmaLinux 8 and 9 environments.

Compare migration and support choices in our AlmaLinux vs Rocky Linux guide, or open RHEL for subscription-specific topics.
