I am currently running FreeIPA on CentOS 7, and I am considering moving it to Fedora.
On RHEL and derivatives, in-place upgrades are not supported. It is necessary to provision a new server, running the new OS version, add it as a FreeIPA replica, and then decommission the old system.
How does this work on Fedora? Will I be able to use dnf system-upgrade, or will I find myself having to use the process described above?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'in-place' do not work? My c7 days are quite a way behind but I don't remember it did no work. c8s & c9s I've been doing up-dates/grades in place for a long time and sure I might have seen some glitches - but by intent packages are ready to upgrade already deployed IPA - but that goes for any software. Then, usual best-practices - however you worked out those - such as backups, apply, how you control & order IPA packages upgrades, etc. IPA has own 'ipa-server-upgrade' which is part of packages/version upgrade process(es) Fedora's IPA stack works okey as it does on Centos - which Centos is Fedora pretty much, only back-dated/ported at it's core. Centos 9 which I've been riding for long time is great, been updating IPA since c9s release - in fact I've recently, though for different reasons, migrated IPA into containers which are Fedoras - no problems.
