Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0?
Subject: Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0?
Good day from Singapore,
I understand both CentOS Linux and AlmaLinux follow Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
I have 2 CentOS 7.9 Linux virtual private servers (VPS) in Europe. They are running Virtualmin/Webmin web hosting control panel in master and slave configuration.
Unfortunately, the end of life (EOL) date for CentOS 7.9 is 30 June 2024, which is less than 2 years away.
Can I use the Elevate tool to migrate my CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to AlmaLinux 9.0? Is it technically impossible or will result in too many complications?
Should I install AlmaLinux 9.0 from fresh and then install Virtualmin instead? If I choose this route, I will need to ask Virtualmin developers how I can migrate the web hosting control panel from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.0.
Please advise.
Thank you.

AFAIK, the "elevate" tool only works to update Centos-7 to Almalinux-8.
ELevate for AlmaLinux 8->9 is in the testing phase. It can be used from https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/ELevate-testing-guide.html but it's not recommended to use it without ample backups, and probably shouldn't be used for production systems yet.
That said, I did successfully use it for an 8->9 conversion yesterday without issue. YMMV.
You will have to go 7->8, then 8->9 if you wish to do this. 7->9 cannot be done in a single step.

I guess I will have to migrate my CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 8, and then from AlmaLinux 8 to AlmaLinux 9. There is no other way out.
