<div dir="auto">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks very much for this new utility, that's an impressive and handy thing to have for sure. I've been able to use it to convert a few test CentOS 8 containers seemingly without any errors or problems. I had hoped I might be able to test converting
a container with Plesk installed, but I see you've intentionally blocked that one - probably just as well :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One hopefully-handy hint in case it causes issues for anyone else: initially I received errors on my first conversion attempt indicating that there were too many open files during the conversion process, and it exited with Error 24. I had to bump up the
soft and hard limit for open files via 'ulimit', but once I did that the conversion worked fine next time I tried it.</div>

But now we have one more way for converting containers which will probably be more reliable. It utilizes vzpkg tool and should be launched from the server side:</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
On a brand new centos8 container I get the following error from yum <br>
after running the vzdeloy8 script (with the ignore kernel env set) :<br>

Nothing to do.<br>

I tried removing and reinstalling httpd* but that didn't resolve the error.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any ideas ?<br>

I feel this is very close now !<br>
Thanks for all your hard work.<br>
