CodeIT repository for RHEL 9, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, Oracle Linux 9

Free  x86_64 + aarch64

Short answer. CodeIT.guru gives RHEL 9, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, Oracle Linux 9 current nginx, Apache httpd with HTTP/3 (mod_http3) and OpenSSL 4.0 with QUIC, as signed packages for x86_64 + aarch64. Run one command to add the repository. Then install with dnf. The packages are free.

Install on EL9

Add the repository with one command:

curl -fsSL https://repo.codeit.guru/setup | sudo sh

Or install the release package directly:

sudo dnf install -y https://repo.codeit.guru/codeit-repo-release.el9.rpm

On EL8, EL9 and EL10 the CodeIT packages are DNF module streams. Enable the stream before you install.

Install nginx with HTTP/3 and Brotli:

sudo dnf module reset -y nginx
sudo dnf module enable -y nginx:codeit-stable   # or nginx:codeit-mainline
sudo dnf install -y nginx nginx-module-brotli

Install Apache httpd with HTTP/2 and HTTP/3:

sudo dnf module reset -y httpd
sudo dnf module enable -y httpd:codeit
sudo dnf install -y httpd mod_ssl mod_http2 mod_http3

OWASP CRS 4 (opt-in). CRS 4 (4.25.2) is in the separate CodeIT-CRS repository. It is off by default, so normal upgrades keep the CRS 3.3 of the distribution. Review a CRS 3 setup before you switch (new crs-setup.conf, plugins). Full steps.

sudo dnf upgrade -y codeit-repo-release
sudo dnf --enablerepo=CodeIT-CRS install -y mod_security_crs
# permanent: sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled CodeIT-CRS
