Does Plesk support in-place upgrade from CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8?

Question

CentOS 7 reaches end-of-life on June 30, 2024. Does Plesk support an in-place upgrade from Centos 7 to AlmaLinux 8?

Answer

We have prepared a public beta CLI script that in-place converts a Plesk server with CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. The script can be used to convert a Plesk server and check the result before CentOS EOL.
This feature is planned to be fully delivered in July 2023.

Note: The feature is based on the Alma Linux ELevate project, which leans heavily on the LEAPP Project created for in-place upgrades of RedHat-based systems. Since the Elevate engine does not support direct conversion to RHEL 9 like OSes (AlmaLinux 9, RHEL 9, RockyLinux 9), the conversion will be possible only from Plesk on CentOS 7 to AlmaLinux 8. We will consider implementing an upgrade path from CentOS 7 to Almalinux 8 and further to Almalinux 9, however, for now, we are concentrating on the CentOS 7 -> AlmaLinux 8 upgrade path.

While this script is in beta, any issues related to the conversion may be reported on GitHub and/or by email [email protected]. Currently, we do not provide help with the conversion via Plesk Support.
