/boot partition is full

On some of our servers, the /boot partition get’s 100% full and then things like yum updates stop working.

Instead of attempting a dangerous and complicated manoeuvre to resize the (boot!) partition we can just take the following steps to stop the /boot partition from filling up in the first place:

Delete all old kernel versions

# dnf remove --oldinstallonly

Then edit the yum conf:

# vi /etc/yum.conf

Update the install limit to 2:

[main]
gpgcheck=1
installonly_limit=2
clean_requirements_on_remove=True
best=True
skip_if_unavailable=False

Locked out of Webmin after IP address changed

Sometimes your provider changes your IP address and if you have IP Access Control turned on, you will not be able to access Webmin anymore. And of course you won’t be able to update your IP address in Webmin if you can’t access it anymore.

So in that case you need to use SSH and edit this config file:

# vi /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf

Look for the line “allow” and edit the IP address(es) as needed:

error_handler_404=404.cgi
error_handler_403=403.cgi
error_handler_401=401.cgi
allow=151.248.55.185 77.109.118.242 80.211.197.221
alwaysresolve=0
libwrap=
trust_real_ip=0
