Fidolas Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hi, Due to the end of life of Centos 7, my question is aimed at knowing what the recommendations may be to migrate the system. As I understand it, Centos 8 has an even worse situation than Centos 7 and therefore other alternatives will have to be evaluated. I would like to know if there are already some proven working scripts that facilitate the migration, allowing the CWP configurations to be preserved when moving them to a new operating system. Is there a tutorial posted here that makes this task easier? What is the recommendation regarding this matter? Of all the possibilities, which one is the closest in terms of stability and security to what Centos 7 offered until now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandeep B. Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Cwp on centos 8 stream and almalinux 8 is stable now, php versions are avialble and it is actively developed like el7 also next year cwp will be relased for el9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was when you have two servers with two different IP address. But what if you only have a single server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidolas Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Well, I can experiment, no worries. What kind of problems are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidolas Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 I want to mean that I can go with snapshots of the whole drive. And if there are serious issues then I can rollback into the previous system. That's why I want a method more or less reliable to upgrade and try it.

Fidolas Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) It looks promising. Is there any other but for Centos 8 Stream? Or do you recommend Almalinux 8 over Centos 8 Stream? Edited December 14, 2023 by Fidolas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaScoot Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I've been toying with the idea of doing a fresh install of CWP on a fresh install of Almalinux 8. Due to the built-in Elevate support in Alma, there is a good chance that when CWP for EL9 eventually arrives Alma could be updated in-place via Elevate, followed by an update to the EL9 compatible CWP version. Of course, that could be all just a dream.😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
