Has anybody successfully installed Duplicati on Almalinux or Rocky Linux?

Hi,
I come from CentOS world which “collapsed” recently and because of that I moved to Almalinux.
I have installed some server on Almalinux and would need backups now.
However I have a problem of installing Duplicati 2.0.6.3 there. Has anybody done that successfully?
Can you share some online guide or writen by you guide for installation?
I Googled it but nothing worked…
Thanks.

I was able to install it on a clean installation of Rocky Linux 8.6. I first installed mono-complete by following instructions here (for CentOS/RHEL 8).

I then installed the duplicati rpm but had to use the --nodeps parameter (this avoids the libappindicator dependency problem):

rpm -ivh --nodeps ./duplicati-2.0.6.3-2.0.6.3_beta_20210617.noarch.rpm

I did have to create a systemctl service file but used clues in the script mentioned in this post.

Hope this helps.

Hello

Is there any news with this topic? I’m also on Almalinux with the same errors.

Thank you for your help.
