Title: CWP centos7 to CWP Almalinux 9 Migration Planned
Post by: Gokalex on November 25, 2025, 04:16:14 PM

Hi,
I am finally planning a migration from centos7 to a new server running hopefully AlmaLinux OS 9

But i read many posts on here saying that the automatic migration is not working on AL9, is that still the case?

I could go to AlmaLinux 8, but the EOL is only in 3 years, and i do not wish to migrate again so soon.

Also are there any news about AL10?

Thanks

Alex

I just moved my last holdout legacy CentOS 7 system over to AL8. A couple of previous servers were no problem to use the CWP Migration feature to move them from CentOS 7 based systems to AlmaLinux 8. But this last system was a stubborn beast so I had to manually migrate it -- but now I know how to move up to AlmaLinux manually, so if you had to you could manually migrate to AL9. But by far the easiest route is to migrate to AL8 using CWP Migration, then at a later date ELevate to AL9.

As you have heard, CWP is in beta for EL9 systems and one thing that is clearly broken is the CWP Migration API under AL9. So you can't migrate using their toolset from CentOS 7 to AL9. My recommendation is to take the intermediary step of going to AL8 which then has a clear path forward to AL9 or AL10 when the time comes.

No news about AL10.

I've tried a couple other control panels that say they 'support' AL10.
But they are all flaky.
