I’m setting up some base images for PHP that are deployed and built via GitHub actions, I noticed that I will randomly get very slow builds (which eventually complete) but the def upgrade/install process is realllllyy slow.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Alright, it turns out that I needed to disable the fedora-cisco-openh264 repo as that was causing the delays.
RUN dnf --disablerepo=fedora-cisco-openh264 install -y \
curl \
unzip \
nginx
And the speeds dramatically improved, also the connections overall seem kind of slow, seeing these kind of connection speeds.

Shouldn’t we disable the h264 repo for the fedora container image by default?
I even think we ought to disable modular repos by default in general for F39…

Yeah I was surprised to see that repo. It thought there was maybe a good reason? Is there a repo or something I can look into for where those images are built?

Sorry for reviving this old thread but I was wondering if you somehow managed to improve network speed. My builds on x86_64 finish in ~ 2min while builds on aarch64 usually take 30min.
What’s odd to me is the time difference between the build log and dnf.

I also noticed, that with the image rockylinux/rockylinux:9-ubi the situation is not that bad:
