To me, it seems it's expected behavior according to CentOS-8 status https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/ |

EOL process by keeping this content available until January 31st. Which is today, so I would expect this still to work. Problem is that even I am trying to run this command described here: https://www.centos.org/download/ It's failing with the same. $ sudo dnf swap centos-linux-repos centos-stream-repos CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 420 B/s | 38 B 00:00 Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist So there will not be any way to migrate to stream now? |

I agree with you, to be honest, I don't know if it's expected or not. I just realized that maybe"this content" refers to the note itself and not to the repository, ect |

"To me, it seems it's expected behavior according to CentOS-8 status https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/" Maybe they could make the new versions of containers available before literally destroying the workflow completely on all CentOS based containers? https://hub.docker.com/_/centos/?tab=tags $ docker run -ti centos:latest [root@fc4a72dc1d51 /]# yum update Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8 CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 95 B/s | 38 B 00:00 Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist [root@fc4a72dc1d51 /]# |

Definitely +1 ! I faced the exact same issue, a CI job building a docker image from centos:8 that does no longer work since ...today |

As several people posted earlier in this thread, this is expected behaviour according to the https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/ So today was the last day that CentOS 8 would be on the main mirrors. The mirrorlist will return ``` curl 'http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8&arch=x86_64&repo=os' Invalid release/repo/arch combination ``` The CentOS 8 code has been moved to vault.centos.org and the main master will be 'empty' from an rsync. Various sub-mirror sites which do a `rsync --delete` will soon also remove the 8 code also. [Some mirrors don't do a --delete and will still have that code online.] `yum update` and docker images will not work and need to be moved to a different distro: 1. AlmaLinux 2. Oracle Linux 3. Rocky Linux 4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux For people who are looking to test against future versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux early, you can look at using CentOS Stream but it does take some research to do this. I do see that the CentOS-8 to CentOS-8 Stream conversion rules does not work currently and will need to be updated. I will update my lines on this when I find out what they should be. |

Updated instructions to move from CentOS-8 to CentOS Stream via dnf/yum. Looking for what is needed for CI images ``` dnf --disablerepo '*' --allowerasing install http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/centos-stream-repos-8-3.el8.noarch.rpm dnf distro-sync ``` |

i agree with Eilyre. All very good and wel that it is expected behaviour. But it breaks a lot of old builds. Would be great if there is a new container build of centos 8. So we won't have to fix all of our ancient builds. We already moved to stream 8 with the latest builds. |

Hi There- Created an account just to +1 Eilyre's & kristiaan statements about providing an updated centos:8 image using the 8-stream repository definitions. Is there an ETA or other place we should raise this request? |
