Proxmox 9 was released, based on Debian 13 (Trixie), with some interesting new features.
Here are the highlights: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_9.0
Upgrade from 8 to 9 readme: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9
Known issues & breaking changes: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#9.0-known-issues
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…
Started a system upgrade at 3am…you ok?
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!
Testing in production? Brave move mate. :)
