Note: this blog post is intended for system and IT administrators who manage FileCloud Server environments.
To initiate the upgrade process, we will be performing a phase-by-phase method.
Beginning with v23.1, FileCloud will only be supporting direct upgrades from v22.1 with RHEL 8 to v23.1 with RHEL 9. For any other versions, we recommend migrating to a new server with FileCloud 23.1 installed on RHEL 9.
Prior to upgrading FileCloud, we recommend taking server snapshots and backups of /var/www/html and mongodump of the database.
If you are upgrading an AWS instance from RHEL 8 to RHEL 9, you will need a RHEL subscription.
First, we will override the filecloudcp with the newer version, which supports the mongodb upgrade from 5.0 to 6.0.
curl --location 'https://repo.filecloudlabs.com/static/misc/filecloudcp' -o /usr/bin/filecloudcp chmod 755 /usr/bin/filecloudcp

Remove old Filecloud repos.
rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/filecloud*.repo
Add repos compactible to RHEL 9.
