### Recommended Practice
When running this script, especially via a remote session, it is highly recommended to enter a screen or tmux session before running. If a standard ssh or terminal session, such as the Cockpit Terminal window, is disrupted, the script will die and leave the system in a potential unrecoverable state. For more on tmux sessions, please see: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki

### Known Issues
#### Running the script in Cockpit's Terminal Screen will be interrupted
Do not run this script through the Terminal screen built into Cockpit. As the script runs the upgrades, Cockpit will be restarted and Terminal connection will disconnect, thus stopping the script and leaving the system in an unrecoverable state. It may be possible to launch a screen or tmux session from the Cockpit Terminal, but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

#### EL8.0 Migrations
If you are attempting to migrate a system that has not been updated since 8.0
then you must run `dnf update` before attempting the migration.
If you are migrating from CentOS 8.0 then you must manually fix the baseurls of
the CentOS repositories before running `dnf update`:
```
sed -i -r \
-e 's!^mirrorlist=!#mirrorlist=!' \
-e 's!^#?baseurl=http://(mirror|vault).centos.org/\$contentdir/\$releasever/!baseurl=https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/centos/8.5.2111/!i' \
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*.repo
```

This script expects the **original repository configuration being present, as
well as enabled** (i.e. for CentOS the `baseos` repo configuration in the
`/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-BaseOS.repo` file has to be present and enabled).
Also make sure that there are **no other repositories** which could interfere with the
original configuration.
