Resizing confusion - help.

[davidtj]

I have a basic Proxmox setup (followed tutorial -so not very clear on detail) It has one VM of Home Assistant which within HA shows it uses 31gb (a backup in less than 4gb) I have a 250gb drive.
Earlier in the week, HA died and I got an i/o error after trying a few things I got it back online, removed some backups and now have a little free space.
I thought I had adequately resized the disk in the past but it seems not, Id also like to upgrade from 7.2-3 to the latest version but worried I will run out of space. This it what I have, any help or advice appreciated.

How full is your root filesystem (output of df -h)?

I thought I had adequately resized the disk in the past but it seems not, Id also like to upgrade from 7.2-3 to the latest version but worried I will run out of space.

Are you sure you actually configured the no-subscription repo to be able to do upgrades in the first place? Because you are not even on the lastest version of PVE7. So my guess would be that you didn't updated PVE at all.

Firstly thanks so much for feedback. I have just deleted the snapshot which has effectively given me more space - below the output. No i'm not sure I did ever configure the no-subs ( I simply followed a YT tutorial which I now cant find). Can I retrospectively do that?
Thanks again for assistance.

No-sub repo: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories#_proxmox_ve_7_x_repositories
Then you would need to update to the latest PVE 7.4 via the webUI.

After that you can follow the upgrade guide to upgrade that PVE 7.4 to 8.1: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8

49GB of free space is plenty for an upgrade. But you might want to run apt autoremove to clean up your boot partition from old kernels first.

Thanks so much for your help, will give that a try in the morning. Really appreciate your help. Will report back.

Not sure if you can help. I followed a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ftWGupG66A to update and it seems to have messed up my install.
When I try to upgrade - I now get:
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

Don't follow random video tutorials if there is a proper official one.

You mixed up repos (bullseye of PVE7 + bookworm of PVE8) so you run into dependency problems. When upgrading to PVE8 you have to remove all PVE7 repos first.

 

[davidtj]

So is there a way to correct it, do I disable the two with an exclamation mark or all with the word Bookworm in? Thanks

 

[davidtj]

I disabled all the repositories labelled "Bookworm" and its updated to latest V7. Now to work out how to update to 8.
