Subject: Is it possible to upgrade CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to Rocky Linux 9.0?
Good day from Singapore,
I understand both CentOS Linux and Rocky Linux follow Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
I have 2 CentOS 7.9 Linux virtual private servers (VPS) in Europe. They are running Virtualmin/Webmin web hosting control panel in master and slave configuration.
Unfortunately, the end of life (EOL) date for CentOS 7.9 is 30 June 2024, which is less than 2 years away.
Is it possible to upgrade CentOS 7.9 with Virtualmin/Webmin to Rocky Linux 9.0? Is it technically impossible or too troublesome and complicated?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hello.
It is not recommended (not supported) to perform upgrades from one release to the next. Upgrades are more trouble than they are worth and can be rife with complication.
You are also wanting to jump two major releases, that is from Enterprise Linux 7 (2014) to 9 (2022), and that is an 8 year gap. I would recommend that you stand up new Rocky Linux 9 machines and begin planning out the migration path for your use case.

According to one article, it says that the migrate2rocky tool only allows migration within a major version. So I think I can only migrate my CentOS 7.9 to Rocky Linux 7.9 and not to Rocky 8 or 9.

Greetings Mr. Turritopsis,
This would be true "if" there were such a thing as Rocky Linux 7.9. Rocky didn't exist until 8.4, so there is no recommended path to upgrade from 7.9 to any version of Rocky Linux. Your best bet would be to do as previously suggested and spin up a new instance of Rocky Linux 9 and then migrate your data from your CentOS 7.9 installation.
Thanks, Steve
