Starting May 1, 2026, CloudLinux will sign new packages for CloudLinux 7, 8, and 9 exclusively with a new GPG key.
For most customers, this is a seamless, low-impact change. No action is needed if your cloudlinux-release package is up to date.
What Is Changing
CloudLinux signs every package with a GPG key, so your system can verify that packages are authentic and have not been tampered with. We are rotating our package signing key to a new key across CloudLinux 7, 8, and 9.
The new GPG key has already been distributed as part of the cloudlinux-release package for an extended period. If you have been keeping your systems updated, your machines already have the new key available and will not notice any change.
Minimum cloudlinux-release Version with the New Key
If you want to verify whether your installed version already includes the new key, use the table below.
To check your current installed version:
rpm -q cloudlinux-release| CloudLinux OS | Minimum version containing the new key |
|---|---|
| CloudLinux 9 | cloudlinux-release-9.6-2 |
| CloudLinux 8 | cloudlinux-release-8.10-8 |
| CloudLinux 7 | cloudlinux-release-7.9-2.12 |
What You Need to Do
Most customers have nothing to do. If your servers are receiving regular updates, the new key is already installed.
If you manage servers that have not received updates recently and you face issues with installing new packages, run the following command:
yum update cloudlinux-releaseTo confirm the new key is installed, run:
rpm -q gpg-pubkey --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}\t%{SUMMARY}\n'
