rocky-tools VS apiscp-webapp-discourse

Rocky Linux has migration scripts available at https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky-tools/tree/main/migrate...

An easy shortcut though, in case you have to hand type it out somewhere, is https://rockylinux.org/migrate2rocky.sh

We have a conversion script for 9 here.

I used Rocky Linux to migrate the CentOS 8 Servers, the migration was just done using the migrate2rocky.sh script from https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky-tools/tree/main/migrate2rocky.

You can also convert an Oracle Cloud to Alma or Rocky then install ApisCP. If you do, append -s has_low_memory=1 to the installer.

If going with Oracle Linux it's necessary to convert to Alma or Rocky before installing the 30-day trial. This also doubles as a great hack for a free 1 GB DNS-only server.

I run the migration script today and I encountered this pellicular error:

migrate2rocky.sh is a 1200 line bash script that appears to call dnf dozens of times. Granted, at the time he didn't know exactly what the migration path was going to look like, so call this one a broken promise rather than a false statement.

It's covered in Rocky's docs and the migrate2rocky README, relevant excerpt here:

For my professional stuff I bought ApisCP and installed it on a $27/month SoYouStart server.

You could try ApisCP : https://apiscp.com/

ApisCP can do this :) It has a few one-click apps, and Discourse is among them.

Some examples of these approaches include ARA builds, which is a flask app using Passenger; Discourse using ProxyPass to a Unicorn instance without Passenger (also available as a one-click), and Ghost (also available as a one-click) using Node with Passenger.
