NOTE: this guide exists for Upgrading from v3.10 to v3.11 as well --> here With the current version, the official documentation is quite good and can be referenced. I would recommend executing all of these commands in a tmux session so that your session will remain on the server in case anything happens to your workstation. Start by checking for running tasks that would prohibit an update: [root@katello01 ~]# foreman-rake katello:upgrade_check Next, update the katello host and reboot if yum tells you to: [root@katello01 ~]# dnf -4y --refresh update [root@katello01 ~]# dnf needs-restarting -r If there were any updates to foreman-related packages, make sure foreman is in a consistent state: [root@katello01 ~]# foreman-maintain service stop [root@katello01 ~]# foreman-installer --scenario katello When the katello services have started again, upgrade the release-rpms: [root@katello01 ~]# dnf -4y --refresh update https://yum.theforeman.org/releases/3.12/el8/x86_64
