[eduVPN-deploy] CentOS 8 support?

[Tangui Coulouarn]

Hi Stefan,

Nice to hear from you, as well as Restena! And I can see you already kind of offered to contribute with code;)

I was also wondering if you were involved with geteduroam. Apparently, there might be some common concerns regarding certificates.

Best regards,

Tangui
