Fixing Major Version Upgrades

With ELevate you can easily upgrade in-place from CentOS 6.x or 7.x AlmaLinux 8 or CentOS Stream 8. You can also use ELevate to upgrade from 8 or 9 all the way through version 10 within the same OS. Used all over the world to upgrade more than 500,000 devices, ELevate is your answer to the headache of upgrading your operating system in the Enterprise Linux ecosystem. Chráňte svoje aplikácie, dáta aj duševné zdravie. Používajte najnovšiu verziu operačného systému a softvéru, ktorý potrebujete. Využívajte moderný a bezpečný operačný systém bez nutnosti znova konfigurovať alebo zostavovať potrebný softvér.

This looks awesome! How do I get involved?

Projekt pre celú komunitu

ELevate je vyvíjaný nezávisle od konkrétnej distribúcie a je vytvorený ako nástroj pre celý ekosystém, nielen pre AlmaLinux. The enterprise linux ecosystem is a very large and diverse community, and we have developed this project in good faith as members of that ecosystem. Dúfame, že každý v komunite môže ELevate používať a prispievať do neho, bez ohľadu na to, ktorú distribúciu preferujete. Takto funguje open source.

Answers to Frequent Questions

ELevate je projekt zameraný na umožnenie aktualizácie medzi hlavnými verziami distribúcií založených na RHEL. Projekt ELevate, ktorý AlmaLinux prvýkrát predstavil v roku 2021, kombinuje dva kľúčové komponenty: aktualizácie do the open source LEAPP project and a data library called leapp-data. These together allow users to upgrade in-place from an unsupported operating system to a modern operating system, and then from 8 to 9 and 9 to 10 of that operating system.

Individuals and organizations that require an enterprise-grade linux distribution, without the need for a commercial license agreement. AlmaLinux OS is also a perfect replacement for anyone who has historically relied on the CentOS Linux releases to achieve computing objectives, and for whom CentOS Stream is not the right solution.

ELevate sa používa na migráciu výrobných prostredí naprieč odvetviami a po celom svete, ale stále odporúčame opatrnosť. Každé prostredie je iné a jedinečné na základe aplikácií a konfigurácií. To avoid any surprises, we highly recommend that you test upgrade scenarios in a virtual machine or sandbox before running upgrades in production.

Yes, and yes! All your data, applications and settings will be kept. Migrations will require your system to reboot twice.

Naši prispievatelia sú súčasťou ekosystému RHEL už veľmi dlho a my sme si uvedomili, že ekosystém CentOS je veľmi veľká a rôznorodá komunita. Tento projekt sme vyvinuli v dobrej viere v nádeji, že ho môže využívať a prispievať každý v komunite bez ohľadu na to, ktorú distribúciu preferujete. To je spôsob open source.

Yes! For the first four years of ELevate, we did support using ELevate to upgrade out of date CentOS installations to Rocky Linux, and migrating between major versions of Rocky Linux. As of the update to ELevate on 2025-11-03, that is no longer supported.

With the release of leapp-repository 0.23.0, two big things changed. First, LEAPP now supports CentOS Stream natively, and the LEAPP team accepted a pull request to add AlmaLinux support as well. That significantly reduces the amount of work that we have to maintain in ELevate. Second, the format of the migration data (the data the describes the package upgrade paths) was changed. That meant that all supported OSes needed to have their migration data updated to retain supporting upgrades. Viac informácií in this blog post,

To date, the migration data required for Rocky Linux support has not been contributed. To help contributors get started, we have the ELevate contribution guide.
