engine-setup still works, maybe you can give move details on what went wrong?
So I managed to dnf install /usr/bin/engine-setup. When I ran it, it
wanted to connect to an external PostgreSQL server. I'm pretty sure
that never happened last time.
TBH I'm also going to erase everything and start again because I've
been round several loops here already.
Do we recommend RHEL or CentOS as the initial OS?
When working with the current development version, sometimes
upgrading engine fails and requires manual steps, or dropping
reinstalling. But since you use a stable version it should always
work.
