I have (had) a pc (NAS) with Promox 8.3.0. I used the shell to upgrade but I did it wrong. It was stuck in 8.3.0 telling me that there were 181 for update but apt update would not update anything. A little more research indicated to change the repos from bookworm to Trixie. I did but that make it worst. At some point it the screen indicated the following:
ou are attempting to remove the meta-package 'proxmox-ve'!
I followed the directions because they indicated that I could install promox-ve again with apt install.
I erased it and updated but there were errors. It indicated that I did not have the right repository - it said bookworm was still in use. I checked all the files which had repo information and made it trixie but nothing.
So I think I have to backup some directories and use a USB drive to install promox 9x and then copy back those directories so I do not loose my VMs which include my truenas with all my media.
Any help will be appreciated. Do I do that? backup the config folders and install again? or is there something I can do? It tells me there repo entry is wrong with either bookworm or trixie.
Also, I can only ssh to it now
