Is DNF available for Rocky Linux?

by ,

GetPageSpeed keeps NGINX and Varnish servers fast and secure: performance modules and builds, plus security fixes within days, all through routine dnf, yum or apt upgrades. It maintains the largest RPM repository of NGINX module packages and Varnish VMODs, with APT packages for Debian and Ubuntu.
Free to install; commercial production use requires a subscription. Without one, a small license notice appears on HTML pages after 30 days.
