Migration from a CentOS 7 system with DirectAdmin installed to CloudLinux or AlmaLinux 8.

[hqn34]

CentOS 7 has reached the end of its life. I am currently using CentOS 7 with DirectAdmin on my servers and would like to migrate to CloudLinux or AlmaLinux 8 without any issues. How can I ensure a seamless transition that preserves emails, user accounts, passwords, and websites? Can you assist me with this process?

You may use ELevate to upgrade in-place: https://wiki.almalinux.org/elevate/ELevate-quickstart-guide.html

Unless you'd like to replace the whole server?

ELevate works. Just to make sure that you check the log and fix reported issues BEFORE the migration.
