RockyLinux
Rocky Linux is an open-source operating system and one of the strongest replacement candidates for CentOS 8. It is a 100% binary-compatible release using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Let us see how to migrate CentOS 8 Linux live server to Rocky Linux 8 using a shell script provided by the Rocky Linux project.
I started the migration process with backup. I do have nightly backups, but before upgrading, I made a snapshot to revert back when something goes wrong. In other words, keep verified backups.
Then I log in using the ssh command:ssh user@cyburdial-php8-app1
Now, all we have to do is use the dnf command to apply all pending updates:sudo dnf update
Finally, reboot the Linux box using the shutdown command or reboot command:sudo reboot
Let us verify CentOS Linux 8 version using the cat command or more command/less command:more /etc/centos-release
We need git to install the migration script. Is git installed on the server? Let us find out. Execute the type command:type -a git
Let us search for the git package, Execute:dnf list git
dnf search git
dnf info git
Now, install git on your server with the help of the dnf utility, Execute:sudo dnf install git
type -a git
Finally, we need to clone the rocky-tools repo with the help of the git command:cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky-tools.git
