Installing on a pristine Centos 8, I had to manually install the correct version of ansible and postgres 12, then change the service name from postgresql-12 to postgresql.

There are scripts looking for init.d/postgresql. Since Centos 8 implements SystemCtl , there should be no init.d's (and there are none)

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to reinstall as a clean system, and the install is failing silently.

At the point where I should be able to run engine-setup, the engine setup utility is absent.

Installation medium: iso downloaded from https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/4.4.10-2022030308/el8/ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.10-2022030308.el8.iso

As I attempt to install the missing dependencies, I keep getting deeper into missing rpm land.

If this iso is no longer any good, even though it is only 4 months old, it should probably be documented as bad or art least superceded by a fixed iso.
