Got handed two VPS machines. Both in bad need of an OS update.
One running Ubuntu 14.04, one running CentOS7.
The Ubuntu one is now downloading updates from 24.04 after upgrading it to 16, 18, 20, 22... I can't even get CentOS 7 to update to CentOS 8 :/
The fact that all the mirrors appear to have just been removed isn't great either.
@mattl
Do you know the Rotate, Repave, Repair pattern?
Many times its easier to migrate the services to a new system, instead of upgrading the old one.
@yala Yeah, but there’s no good way to reinstall this machine from an ISO, sadly.
