Upgrade NagiosXI off-line appliance

Afternoon all, I've been notified that a newer version of XI (Nagios XI 5.8.3) is available and I'd like to upgrade to it. I'm finding conflicting information on how to perform the upgrade. My config is a NagiosXI 5.7.3 appliance running on CentOS 7.8.2003 installed in Vmware ESXI 6.7.0. The instance is off line, not connected to the Internet, nor can it be. The options I've read are to do a clean install and perform a restore from backup, or upgrade to the recommended version via install from the OS. What is the recommended process to upgrade Nagios in this instance? Thanks

Instructions can be found here:
https://repo.nagios.com/?repo=offline
Caveat: It also says:
CentOS 7
Offline server must still have access to CentOS Base Repo (actual or clone) for installation/upgrade.
If you have the ability to attach an offline volume like the CentOS installation CD-ROM, you could mount the volume (likely in /media/cdrom), then edit "/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Linux-Media.repo" (Cent8) or "/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo" (Cent7):
Make sure enabled is set to 1:
See that repo file for where to mount the CD-ROM. In CentOS 8, /media/cdrom is acceptable.
