After a while I believe there were no more updates for Centos 7. What is impressive about this story is that I was able to drag it into the modern era with rocky linux 9 but it was a ... rocky transition. My biggest pain point was when the networking stack was broken and Yum refuses to do ANYTHING without loading sources from the network. I couldn't get around it without flash driving RPMs to the server..
The uptime of the machine was great on Centos, but it came to a point I was afraid to reboot because of the package changes that could apply.
edit: I think some software I was using was EOL'd just for Centos maybe also prompting the switch.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoCentOS 7 "active support" ended in 2020 (which I'm guessing is what you mean?) but it's supposed to keep getting security support until 2024 (thus hilariously outliving both CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream 8) - https://endoflife.date/centos https://endoflife.date/centos Although certainly I can sympathize with the software eventually getting very long in the tooth, and jumping EL 7 to 9 could definitely be quite a change.
