My organization is putting together a beaker cluster for testing on ever
advancing hardware. We are concerned about launching the cluster on
RHEL/CentOS 7 because they are no longer supported, which may result in
challenges in testing new hardware. I am evaluating building the cluster on
CentOS8, but, beaker-server fails with the following during installation:

Error:

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to
use not only best candidate packages)

I suspect it's because beaker uses OS ver 7 with python2 and RHEL/CentOS8
installs python3. I installed python2 and tried adding the missing python
packages, running update, flushing cache, etc, and it still fails with the
same.

I can easily build the server on CentOS7. It's flawless to get the daemon
running. But, we are concerned about the maintenance OS and emerging
hardware. Is there a way to get server to run on OS 8, and will it be
ported to 8 and python3 in the near future?
