Install Longview on AlmaLinux 9.1?
Hello,
Is there a recommended way of installing Longview on AlmaLinux 9.1
Trying the curl line on https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/what-is-longview/ results in
Longview Repo 294 B/s | 236 B 00:00

A workaround for getting Longview installed on an AlmaLinux instance was suggested in a previous Community Questions site post:
I hope this helps!

The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next successful transaction.
You can remove cached packages by executing 'yum clean packages'.
Error: GPG check FAILED
I was able to replicate this with AlmaLinux9 however Longview deployed successfully using AlmaLinux8. I believe this is related to depreciation of SHA-1 signatures. A discussion about this error on a different service can be found in this Github issue.
With this in mind, I've reached out to the Longview Team to take a closer look.

The user @netutgamer may have found a workaround in this post:
Easiest work around is to temporarily relax the cryptography policy using:
update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:SHA1Run the Longview install, then once running switch back:
update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT
I suggest giving this a shot.
