Recovery of Cpanel 110/Centos 7.9
I have a server running centos 7.9 and Cpanel version is 110, mysql is 5.7.44, php 7.2. Dedicated server at Hetzner.
I can't update anything because our software works only under those versions...long story.
My question is what would you do in crisis situation?
Rent a new server, manually install centos 7.9, then force cpanel version 110, then restore everything? My account is 500GB, i guess this whole process would last at least one day.
Are there any qiucker/smarter solutions?

I don't think you can install cPanel version 110 any more, LTS tier is 118.

I tried this once and it worked, it says you can go anything after version 94.

I tried to install cPanel in Centos 7 and it says:
2024-05-24 12:20:11 397 [7821] (ERROR): Unsupported operating system (centos 7)
2024-05-24 12:20:11 398 [7821] (ERROR): cPanel & WHM does not support the version of the Linux distribution you are running. You will need to install on one of the supported versions of a Linux distribution listed at https://go.cpanel.net/supported-os1 -
Your job is very difficult in an emergency situation.
Because you cannot install cpanel on Centos 7 anymore, you will not be able to install it even by forcing it to version 110.
Almalinux 8 supports PHP 7.2, but MySql 5.7 is out of date. Test your software for MySql 8 on a different server. Generally, databases that work in MySql 5.7 will also work in MySql 8. I don't even think there will be a compatibility problem with MariaDB.
If you have Json table structures, they will not work in MariaDB, they will work in MySQL 8. In summary, you should test your databases on an up-to-date test server and act accordingly, if necessary, you should start updating your software now by enduring a greater difficulty.
Good luck.
