How to upgrade CentOS 7 to CentOS 8 Linux

Updated on February 16, 2022

This tutorial will guide you step-by-step to upgrade CentOS 7 to Centos 8.

Caution

Backup all important and necessary files/folders before upgrading on a production server!

Step 1:  Boot up any CentOS 7 system

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

Step 2: Update to the latest CentOS 7 release

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# yum update –y
[root@upgrade-centos ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

Step 3: Install the EPEL Repository

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# yum install epel-release

Step 4: Install yum-utils tools

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# yum install yum-utils -y

Step 5: Install rpmconf to resolve RPM packages

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# yum install rpmconf -y
Tool to handle rpmnew and rpmsave files

rpmconf command searches for .rpmnew, .rpmsave, and .rpmorigfiles and asks the user what to do with them.

Step 6: Perform reconciliation of configs.

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# rpmconf -a
Configuration file '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'
-rw-------. 1 root root 3907 Nov 24 16:35 /etc/ssh/sshd_config.rpmnew
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4360 Feb 15 05:34 /etc/ssh/sshd_config

==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
M : merge configuration files
Z : background this process to examine the situation
S : skip this file
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** aliases (Y/I/N/O/D/M/Z/S) [default=N] ?

Step 7: Perform a clean-up of all the packages you don’t require.

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# package-cleanup --leaves
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
bind-libs-lite-9.11.4-26.P2.el7_9.8.x86_64
libgudev1-219-78.el7_9.5.x86_64
libndp-1.2-9.el7.x86_64
libsoup-2.62.2-2.el7.x86_64
libsysfs-2.1.0-16.el7.x86_64
[root@upgrade-centos ~]# package-cleanup --orphans
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

* base: centos.mirrors.estointernet.in

* extras: centos.mirrors.estointernet.in
* updates: centos.mirrors.estointernet.in
kernel-3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64

Step 8: Install dnf (package manager) on CentOS 7

What is DNF?

DNF is a software package manager that installs, updates, and removes packages on Fedora and is the successor to YUM

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# yum install dnf -y

Step 9: Remove YUM package manager

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf remove yum yum-metadata-parser

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# rm -rf /etc/yum
Remove yum

YUM is the default package manager for CentOS 7, and remove yum configuration file to avoid any conflict with dnf. Since CentOS 8 uses dnf as the primary package manager.

Step 10: Upgrade CentOS 7 to Centos 8

We are all set to upgrade CentOS 7 to CentOS 8, but before that, we need to upgrade the system.

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf upgrade

Step 11: Install CentOS 8 release package using dnf

The latest CentOS release is 8.5

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf install http://vault.centos.org/8.5.2111/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/{centos-linux-repos-8-3.el8.noarch.rpm,centos-linux-release-8.5-1.2111.el8.noarch.rpm,centos-gpg-keys-8-3.el8.noarch.rpm}

Step 12: Upgrade EPEL Repository

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf -y upgrade https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

Step 13: Remove all temporary files

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf clean all

Step 14: Remove the old CentOS 7 Kernel

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# rpm -e `rpm -q kernel`

Step 15: Remove all the conflicting packages

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# rpm -e --nodeps sysvinit-tools

Step 16: Remove any conflicting packages

Some of the packages might conflict with the upgrade process, remove them as below by replacing the package_name

# dnf remove <package_name>

Step 17: Upgrade to CentOS 8. This will take some time

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf -y --releasever=8 --allowerasing --setopt=deltarpm=false distro-sync

Step 18: Install new kernel for CentOS 8

CentOS 8 repos change

Since CentOS 8 has reached EOL, the mirror.centos.org has been changed to vault.centos.org

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf -y install kernel-core

Step 19: Install CentOS 8 minimal packages

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# dnf -y groupupdate "Core" "Minimal Install"

Step 20: Reboot the server

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# reboot

Step 21: Verify the upgrade

[root@upgrade-centos ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.5.2111

Happy upgrading 🙂

CentOS 8 reached EOL on 31st Dec 2021

Since CentOS 8 has reached EOL, upgrade to CentOS Stream from here

  1. I’m getting the same errors when i try to uninstall the el7 kernels.
    I’m stuck and really could use some help.
