Upgrading Oracle Linux on the SCM VM

This topic describes the steps to upgrade the VM instance, on which SCM is deployed, from Oracle Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8. This upgrade will also update the SCM container image to 25.4 or later.

Oracle Linux 7 has reached the end of its Premier Support; hence you should upgrade the VM on which SCM is deployed from Oracle Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8. Upgrading the VM instance from Oracle Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8 will install Podman, set up SCM as a Podman container, and make Podman the default tool to manage the SCM container registry. Additionally, the Podman SCM container is set up as a service using Quadlet that enables it to run declaratively under the systemd service.

Note: After the upgrade, you must execute all Docker commands with their Podman equivalents.
