CentOS 7: choose a recovery task

Separate repository failures, SSH access problems and Docker storage pressure before changing an end-of-life host.

Updated 2026-10-30

For yum 404 errors, start with repository diagnosis. SSH slowness and password lockout have different checks; neither calls for a repository rewrite by itself.

For Docker disk pressure, inspect the active data root and target filesystem before the migration planner. For handoff inventory, review tree export overwrite and package-install effects. CentOS 7 recovery does not restore vendor security support.
