Procedure for migrating EuroLinux to RockyLinux

1. Preparation:

   • Ensure a stable and reliable internet connection throughout the entire migration process. This is critical for downloading scripts and packages.
   • Create a full backup of the system to be migrated.
   • Test the recovery procedure to ensure you can restore the system in case of interruption or errors during migration.
   • It is recommended to run the migration in a session manager, e.g., tmux.

2. Download migration scripts:

   • For EL8:

     curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EuroLinux/rocky-tools/feature/vaulted_migration/migrate2rocky/migrate2rocky.sh
     

   • For EL9:

     curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EuroLinux/rocky-tools/feature/vaulted_migration/migrate2rocky/migrate2rocky9.sh
     

3. Migration:

   • Migrating EuroLinux 8 to RockyLinux 8:

     sudo bash migrate2rocky.sh -r
     

   • Migrating EuroLinux 9.4 to RockyLinux 9.4:
     • If RockyLinux has not yet released version 9.5:

       sudo bash migrate2rocky9.sh -r
       

     • If RockyLinux has already released version 9.5 or higher:

       sudo bash migrate2rocky9.sh -rv 9.4
