Question
Does Plesk support AlmaLinux as an alternative to CentOS 8?
Answer
Yes, Plesk supports AlmaLinux OS started from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.35.
The conversion from CentOS 8 with Plesk to AlmaLinux is supported, as well.
In-place conversion of CentOS 8 to AlmaLinux is a recommended way to move from CentOS 8 (which has reached its EOL on December 21, 2021).
To convert:
1. Add the following line into /root/.autoinstallerrc:
SOURCE = http://autoinstall-archives.plesk.com
2. Download and run AlmaLinux script on a CentOS 8 server.
3. Remove line from /root/.autoinstallerrc
Warning: Script execution time is approximately 10 minutes. Thus, it is recommended to perform conversion during a planned maintenance window to minimize downtime.
