E.g. @shaikhhasib needs to run PostgreSQL but we don't have sudo power on vm77. @shaikhhasib already asked @rwf14f if a VM with sudo power can be granted for us.

@rwf14f Is there any update on this? It would be nice if we can get few nodes where we can run some of our web service!!

rwf14f commented 1 year ago

You can install it on vm77 for testing. Please be aware that CentOS 7 only has 9.2.24. Repo files are managed by Puppet which will remove all unknown files in /etc/yum.repos.d/.

@rwf14f never mind fix the issue with sudo sudo systemctl start postgresql

Thanks, @rwf14f, we both now have sudo (in the wheel group) on vm77. Closing.
