This page is here to act as a reminder for fixes to things which are annoying about Fedora, Redhat, Centos etc.

  • Turn off that !@#$% dnf makecache timer!
    http://swapoff.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/disable- automatic-package-metadata.html
    This jolly timer and makecache cause all sorts of AVCs from inside containers.
  • Enable selinux 'container_manage_cgroup' which allows systemd to run inside containers
    setsebool container_manage_cgroup 1 - Using this less now with F29.
  • disable and remove NetworkManager on servers - replace with systemd-networkd
    • dnf remove NetworkManager
      Note: this removes heaps of stuff. It worked for me. Be brave!
    • edit and setup /etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network
      [Match]
      Name=eth0

      [Network]
      Address=192.168.0.19/24
      Gateway=192.168.0.254
      DNS=192.168.0.254

    • systemctl enable systemd-networkd

    • systemctl start systemd-networkd
