Hello! I just installed proxmox on a Oracle cloud instance and installed via installing debian and then used apt install proxmox-ve following this guide here. Upon installing it everything works good but its on version 7.2-7 which I would like to be on a newer version like 8.2.4 and so I went into updates and clicked upgrade which ran apt-get dist-upgrade but it said my system was up to date. If I refresh my updates it says I dont have a valid subscription (I dont have enterprise) but it is fine with refreshing and just shows this
Code:
starting apt-get update
Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye InRelease
Hit:2 http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security InRelease
Hit:3 https://mirror.frank-ruan.com/pimox7 dev/ InRelease
Hit:4 http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian bullseye InRelease
Hit:5 http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye InRelease
Reading package lists...
TASK OK
and it does not show any package updates. I have this apt source and it says at the top that I will receive updates.

It looks like you are not running Proxmox VE. Please contact the developers/maintainers of PiMox to help you with updating.

Proxmox does not support running on ARM processors: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_system_requirements

Maybe just delete your cloud instance and get a new one (that can run 64-bit AMD/Intel software) to install Proxmox VE 8.2: https://proxmox.com/en/downloads/proxmox-virtual-environment/iso/proxmox-ve-8-2-iso-installer ?
 
Well..., that Oracle free tier is great, I use it myself - for unimportant stuff. (Oracle is known to delete those unpaid instances if something triggers their monitoring.)

Your linked guide states "But you need to remember that this way is totally unofficial and unsupported. You will get no updates whatsoever", so you are on your own on this journey, sorry.

Good luck!
