    For beginners here: do not run apt upgrade!! Read the documentation on how to upgrade properly.

      It’s always good to read the docs, but I often skip them myself :)

      They have this nifty tool called pve8to9 that you could run before upgrading, to check if everything is healthy.

      I have a 3 node cluster, so I usually migrate my VMs to a different node and do my maintenance then, with minimal risks.

    Yay, it only took 2 hours and the help of an llm since the upgrade corrupted my lvm metadata! Little bit of post cleanup and verifying everything works. Now I can go to sleep (it’s 5am).

    Wasn’t that bad, but not exactly relaxing. And when my VMs threw a useless error (‘can’t start need manual fix’) I might have slightly panicked…

        I’m always up late (it’s 5:19a), though a good bit more than usual lately. But I did the upgrade because I was anxious, had nothing to do, and there were no users utilizing the machine.

    This is awesome, I am going to imediatly get a test cluster set up when I get to work. Snapshots with FC support was the only major thing (appart from Veeam support) holding us back from switching to Proxmox. The HA improvements also sound nice!
