RedHat9.1 - Foreman with Katello

[michal.smolinski]

Hi there,

Question about supported OS for the latest version of Foreman 3.4 & Katello 4.6.
Will it work with the latest version of RedHat 9.1 ?? Did anyone test it already?

Do we already know, when foreman/katello is able to run on EL9? Is there a thread/task-list which things needs to be done before it can run on EL9?
