Yes, CentOS 7 software stack is showing it's age!
But un unfortunately it is still relevant, Maya and many other VFX softwares are still compiled with gcc 4 or 5 and tested on CentOS/RH 7.
I found a workaround by installing postgres in a docker image, python3 with RedHat SCLS and the python modules with pip3 in a virtualenv. Not the most elegant installation but it works.
I made a gist here (it is not a script, just my installation notes):
https://gist.github.com/diegocortassa/6a...e73b82072d
There are systemd unit files, in case you are interested in changing the init file I could make a PR for them. Is there a linux distribution you suggest/use? I think Fedora is to fast paced for use in production.
P.S.
You are right CentOS 8 moved to dnf
