就如标题所言，我们可能更关注企业服务器中，正在运行的CentOS是否可以平滑的过渡到Rocky Linux。比如升级的方式。

我很看好这个项目，特别想为之做些有意义的事情，不过直到目前还没有想好做些什么。

祝好！！！

There is no smooth upgrade method. When preparing to upgrade from 7 to 8, You should reinstall the entire system, when you want to upgrade from Centos7/RHEL7 to Rocky8/Centos7/RHEL8.  
不能平滑更新。当准备从7升级到8时，你应该重新安装整个系统。

@berlin, please try out [https://www.tecmint.com/upgrade-centos-7-to-centos-8](https://www.tecmint.com/upgrade-centos-7-to-centos-8). I am surprised after two tests(C7min and C7withGUI), I was able to upgrade them to C8. But these two are test lab instances, not like enterprise C7 got deployed.

Also for tools assisted migration, RHEL7toRHEL8 in-place migration is supported via leapp automation framework. It is just no one prepare leapp actor/repository for centos7to8 or centos7/R8.

hi @ybaojun, how about let’s study leapp and prepare a [centos7toRocky8 repo/actors](https://github.com/oamg/leapp-repository/tree/master/repos/system_upgrade/el7toel8).

AlmaLinux did see this gap to fill the void by modifying leapp as [Elevate](https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/) and prepare the [needed data set](https://pes.almalinux.org/) for RHEL downstream distros including RL. IMHO, With this tool and community behind it. I see the light of keep using RHEL/RL for the long term(ie, RHEL/RL8 and beyond).
