And that's saying something.
So I need to do an operating system migration - I have to move from CentOS7 to AlmaLinux. This is a fully scripted in-place OS change. On a live server.
APPARENTLY this is a supported migration, but since is is all Linux, I suppose that depends on certain values of $supported. It's only meant to take 30 minutes (!) and everything should "just work" (!!) afterwards. I've had to disable a load of repos to pass the preflight checks, but as of right now it's telling me everything will work just fine...
There are a couple more things i need to do before I pull the trigger, like a reboot and reconfigure of the VM, take a snapshot, cross fingers etc. so the server will be up and down a bit this evening....
