Question Migration Tool

[Dork]

Server operating system version

CentOS 7.9

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.56 #2

Is it possible to use the migation tool in order to migrate the content of a Centos7 system to a server that uses alma8?

You can either to an in-place conversion with this tool which will keep all data as it is, but just upgrade the operating system:

GitHub - plesk/centos2alma: CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 conversion tool

CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8 conversion tool. Contribute to plesk/centos2alma development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Or you can use Plesk Migrator to migrate to another server. However, Plesk Migrator has some limitations that you can see here:

Sound not very good. I'm disapointed.

What's wrong, why is neither solution appropriate for you?

the limitatations are very much.

 

[Peter Debik]

They look a lot, but which of these actually apply to your individual setup? I found that on my servers none or only very few apply. But I opted to use the centos2alma conversion script anyway.

So I should convert the old server from CentOS7 to Alma8 and transfer the data to the new server?

Oh - I see that centos2alma is not useable with virtuozzo

 

[Peter Debik]

Yes, if you are in a Virtuozzo container, you can only migrate.
