How Can I migrate all IredMail server and roundcube webmail please?
I saw some things in the doc but I want, if possible, a step by step procedure.
Thank you for your help.

We currently don't have such step-by-step tutorial for CentOS 7->8 upgrade.

Usually the OS upgrade program works fine, and you just need to check log files to make sure each program works as expected, if not, fix them one by one.

You won't do that. Because CentOS 8 s EOL in Dec 2021.
We don't know yet which RedHat-like OS Zhang will support instead of CentOS next year.

We don't have such "script" for migration. There're many tutorials available online, and here's some of them:

- Migrate CentOS 7/8 to Rocky Linux 8 [100% Working].

- [official] Migrate CentOS 8 to Rocky 8: https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/migrate2rocky/
