Using docker-compose on CentOS Stream 9

Having decided on a RedHat based distro for my new home server, I was originally decided on using RockyLinux. When CentOS Stream 9 came out however, and having softened up on the idea behind CentOS Stream, I decided to give it a try.

A few issues getting things up and running

It wasn't all moonlight and roses though. My first attempt at installing CentOS Stream 9 was a failure apparantly because I had only allocated 500MiB to the /boot partition. The error wasn't very helpful:

DNF error: Error in POSTTRANS scriptlet in rpm package kernel-core
