The initial tests went really well! I deployed on AlmaLinux 9 and it works!

You can follow the Fedora deployment instructions [1] on AlmaLinux 9, 
and I guess CentOS Stream 9 as well, but haven't tested that. Instead of 
using deploy_fedora.sh you use deploy_el9_dev.sh, that's the only 
difference. For getting a Let's Encrypt certificate, you can also use 
lets_encrypt_fedora.sh.

**NOTE**: this is using *development* packages, and this is NOT yet an 
officially supported version of eduVPN 3.x on EL9.

Let me know if you are able to test this out and whether or not it works 
for you. In the coming weeks/months we can make this officially 
supported if it works out. More testers means faster release ;-)

Open items:
- see whether this will work as-is on RHEL9/CentOS 9/Rocky 9
- merge deploy_fedora.sh and deploy_el9_dev.sh
- reenable running unit tests in build stage using fkooman/put instead 
of PHPUnit
- testing more

Regards,
François
