Sorry, I only did this on very few development machines, so do not have any significant "real life experience" to share. > I can see that various third parties provide their "guide" on how to perform > the migration, the most "neutral" one I could find is > > > https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/552873/how-to-switch-from-centos-8-to-centos-stream > > but I am having a hard time finding any "official" documentation from CentOS I think the "official" doc is: https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/ -> Press "8" -> check "Converting from CentOS Linux 8 to CentOS Stream 8" This is very similar to, and slightly more specific/safe, than: https://centos.org/distro-faq/#q7-how-do-i-migrate-my-centos-linux-8-installation-to-centos-stream The stackexchange answer above is also slightly more detailed than both of these, based on a specific user's experience. I definitely recommend trying first on test machines, as similar as possible to your production ones. > or oVirt.

There is a way, which is to follow the general hosted-engine backup/restore procedure. This isn't an in-place upgrade - requires a new storage space for the hosted-engine domain, etc. The appliance that the oVirt project releases is based on Stream since 4.4.6 IIRC. Same for ovirt-node - so if you use node, the normal upgrade process for it will get you Stream. > It would be nice to know if there is any documentation I missed on how to > best handle the Centos 8 -> Centos 8 Stream conversion in my case (which is > hosted engine on ovirt-node hosts). See above. I don't think you'll find anything more specific or official. I recommend searching this list's archive - we had several relevant threads over the last year - and testing on copies/clones of your existing ones, if in production.
