Question

CentOS

Good afternoon! The goal is to update CentOS 7 to version 8. I want to install version 8.0 from the centos-release-8.0-0.1905.0.9.el8.x86_64 package first, but I can't find a download mirror. Tell me how to do it?

Answer 1

First, make a backup. And secondly, too - no one promises that everything will work out.
As for the process itself, there is a script that tries to do everything automatically https://github.com/johnj/centos-to8-upgrade .
Or manually:
