1. MiracleLinux
MIRACLE LINUX is a Japanese Linux distribution provided by Cybertrust Corporation. It has been based on RHEL since Version 2.0 released in May 2001, and has been a complete RHEL clone since Version 6.0 released in January 2012.。
The latest version is 9.4, released on September 2, 2024, but can be installed just like 9.2.
MiracleLinux9.4 ; Download
MiracleLinux ISO image files can be obtained from the following official web sites
MiracleLinux 9.4 ; Install
Download "MIRACLELINUX-9.4-rtm-x86_64.iso", create an installation disc on a USB disk and install it on the actual device, or create a virtual machine using Vmware player or VirtualBox and install it.
See MIRACLE LINUX 9.2 for installation instructions.
2. Disabling SELinux
First, disable selinux. selinux is a feature that improves auditing and security in Linux, but when enabled, it places considerable restrictions on the behavior of services and on what can be configured. Therefore, it is basically disabled in many cases.
SELinux Operation Mode
Enforcing : SELinux functionality is enabled and access control is enabled
Permissive : SElinux will warn, but no access restrictions will be placed
disabled : Both SElinux function and access control are disabled
①Current SELinux status
|
1 2 |
# getenforce Enforcing |
②Switching to [permissive] mode
|
1 2 3 |
# setenforce 0 # getenforce Permissive |
③Switch to [enforcing] mode
|
1 2 3 |
# setenforce 1 # getenforce Enforcing |
④To completely disable SELinux, a reboot is required by adding selinux=0 to the kernel command line as follows
|
1 2 |
# grubby --update-kernel ALL --args selinux=0 # reboot |
※ To return SELinux to active, do the following (reboot after changes)
|
1 2 |
# grubby --update-kernel ALL --remove-args selinux # reboot |
3. System Modernization
Update packages as soon as possible after OS installation.
However, when a dnf update is performed, a kernel update is also performed at the same time.
Kernel updates may require rebooting the system or stopping services, or worse, a kernel panic may occur and the system may not boot.
It is wiser to exclude the kernel and update it.
By running dnf -y update with "--exclude=kernel*", the kernel can be excluded from updates.
|
1 |
# dnf -y update --exclude=kernel* |
4. Services stopped for system modernization and security measures.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
# systemctl stop atd.service # systemctl disable atd.service # systemctl stop kdump.service # systemctl disable kdump.service # systemctl stop lvm2-monitor.service # systemctl disable lvm2-monitor.service # systemctl stop mdmonitor.service # systemctl disable mdmonitor.service # systemctl stop smartd.service # systemctl disable smartd.service # systemctl stop dm-event.socket # systemctl disable dm-event.socket |
5. Adding Repositories
5.1 PowerTools / HighAvailability
PowerTools and HighAvailability are available by updating miraclelinux-repos and activating the repository.
First, update miraclelinux-repos.
|
1 |
# dnf update miraclelinux-repos |
①PowerTools can be used by activating the repository as follows
|
1 |
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled 9-latest-PowerTools |
②HighAvailability is available by activating the repository as follows
|
1 |
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled 9-latest-HighAvailability |
5.2 Add EPEL repository
EPEL is a repository provided by the Fedora project, officially named Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux. This repository is unique in that it contains many commonly used packages that are not included in the distribution's repositories.
Since EPEL provides packages for adding repositories for RHEL 9, they can be used with MIRACLE LINUX 9 by simply installing the packages.
|
1 |
# dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm |
|
1 |
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
[epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch # It is much more secure to use the metalink, but if you wish to use a local mirror # place its address here. #baseurl=https://download.example/pub/epel/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/ metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-$releasever&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir enabled=1 ← Repository enabled (0 : Repository disabled) priority=10 ← Specify priority in the range of 1~99 gpgcheck=1 countme=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-$releasever |
After installation, the following repository files will be added to /etc/yum.repos.d and made available.
epel-cisco-openh264.repo
epel.repo
epel-testing.repo
5.3 Added Remi's RPM repository
|
1 2 |
# dnf -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-9.2.rpm # dnf -y config-manager --set-enabled remi |
|
1 |
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi-safe.repo |

After installation, the following repository files will be added to /etc/yum.repos.d and made available.
remi.repo
remi-modular.repo
remi-safe.repo
6. Network Settings
6.1 Check network device name
|
1 2 3 4 |
# nmcli dev s DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION ens160 ethernet connected ens160 lo loopback connected (externally) lo |
Network device name is "ens160"
6.2 Host Name Change
Change the host name to Lepard
|
1 2 3 4 |
# hostnamectl set-hostname Lepard Log in again [huong@Lepard:~]$ |
6.3 Static IPv4 address configuration
The name of the network interface is "ens160" from 5.1
In MiracleLinux8, the ifcfg-xxx file in network-scripts could be changed by rewriting it, but in MiracleLinux9, the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory are empty and this method cannot be used, so the "nmcli" command is used.
Change the static IPv4 address to "192.168.11.83".
Change by "nmcli" command
