Hints for manual upgrading from CentOS 8 Stream to CentOS / Alma / Rockey 9

[Richard Shaw]

I know upgrades are not supported but its for a small home server that
really only does two things:

BackupPC and Unifi (which I both maintain)

Anyone had success doing manual upgrades or did you start with a reinstall?

Thanks,
Richard

I think AlmaLinux's ELevate thing can help you do in-place upgrades:
https://almalinux.org/elevate

You could also try upgrading to RHEL 9:

(RHEL is available for free for individuals:

For a home server you can use RHEL, the real deal, why
mess with 
downstream rebuilds?

Just a thought.

Free or not, the licensing aspect is annoying and that's why many people
still choose rebuilds.
