Topic: Update to iRedAdmin-Pro, 4.7 in RHEL 7.8 goes my server down

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.3.2 MARIADB edition.
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? NO
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.8 (Maipo)
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):  MySQL (MariaDB)
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? Yes
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

After ran the upgrade_iredadmin.sh script to update my server goes completely down, I figure out the problem, it on line 62 of the update script, by getting a wrong RHEL version in:

export DISTRO_VERSION=$(awk -F'"' '/^VERSION_ID=/ {print $2}' /etc/os-release) -> this line resolve to 7.8 instead of 7 as expected by the script

Re: Update to iRedAdmin-Pro, 4.7 in RHEL 7.8 goes my server down

My /etc/os-release on CentOS 7.8 looks like this:

NAME="CentOS Linux"
VERSION="7 (Core)"
ID="centos"
ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="7"
PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:7"
HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/"

CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7"
CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7"

You can try to use VERSION_ID="7" in your file. Not sure if the rest will upgrade without errors.
The problem is probably because on iredmail download web page RHEL is not listed as supported OS, that's why this script is expecting something else.
