[sk0al]

I thought I would share since there is not alot of detailed instructions for uggrading. I went from centOS-8 to oracle linux 8 snipe v5 to v6.

take a vm clone, backup of your server, application.
Enable then update to php v8; The latest version of snipeit wants php 8
dnf module list php
dnf module reset php:7.2
dnf module disable php:7.2
dnf module enable php:8.0
dnf module list php --> 8.0 is now enabled
dnf update
php -v
Install php-sodium
cd /tmp; wget -v https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/9/Everything/x86_64/Packages/p/php-sodium-8.0.20-1.el9.x86_64.rpm
dnf install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm -y
dnf install php-sodium-8.0.20-1.el9.x86_64.rpm -y
php –-ini ----> look for sodium
