Alma version upgrade instructions (9 -> 10)

Why upgrade Alma?

Upgrading to the new version provides better performance,

security, and long-term support.
By upgrading,

you get newer software versions, fixed vulnerabilities, and a more stable system.

Running these commands could break your system, remember to create backups!

Start with updating packets:

sudo yum update -y

Reboot:

reboot

Download elevate repository:

sudo yum install -y http://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/elevate-release-latest-el$(rpm --eval %rhel).noarch.rpm

search GPG-key:

sudo rpm --import https://repo.almalinux.org/elevate/RPM-GPG-KEY-ELevate

Install leapp packets:

sudo yum install -y leapp-upgrade leapp-data-almalinux

Do a preupgrade check:

sudo leapp preupgrade

The preupgrade check might show errors, in this example the problem is "Legacy configurication network found"

that can be fixed by creating new connection with command:

sudo nmcli connection add type ethernet con-name dhcp-eth0 ifname eth0 ipv4.method auto ipv6.method auto autoconnect yes

Activate previously created connection with command:

sudo nmcli connection up dhcp-eth0

delete old connection with command:

sudo rm -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

after that do a preupgrade check before doing upgade with command:

sudo leapp preupgrade

when you dont get any errors or inhibitors in preupgade report you can start update with this command:

sudo leapp upgrade

when sudo leap upgrade is succesfull without any inhibitors or errors do a "reboot command":

sudo reboot

log back in with command:

ssh username@server ip

replace user and server ip with your own user name and ip

alma should now be upgraded you can check the version with commands:

cat /etc/redhat-release

cat /etc/os-release

if you see results as almalinux 10, then your from upgrade almalinux (9 -> 10) is succesfull
