upgrade from 4.3.0

[riverwatcher]

We installed Blesta system 4.3 on the old centos6.9 server. And we bought a new License Key on Nov. Now centos6 don't have support and yum install is not working anymore. Do you have any suggestion how could I update Blesta to 5.8 and move to a new Blesta support operation system? Maybe ubuntu22 or almaLinux. Thank you very much!

Upgrade docs are here: https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Upgrading+Blesta 

To summarize:

1. Backup your files + database
2. Upload the new full release (not a patch). When going from 4.3->5.8 it's highly recommended you first go to 4.12.3, then 5.0.3. You're 17 versions behind. Backup files + database separately after each successful upgrade. Any errors during upgrade roll back. Always upgrade to the newest patch release in a version. major.minor.patch. Note that per the docs the system requirements changed in 5.0, you may need to adjust when going from 4.12.3 -> 5.x
3. Any third party extensions or customizations may cause problems, check if they have compatible releases.

To migrate Blesta read the docs here https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Moving+Blesta at least the big red box at the top.
