[SOLVED] Updating PVE Manager

[used1d]

Hello, I'm trying to update from 7 to 8, and one of the prerequisites is to make sure the PVE Manager is at least updated to 7.4-18, but mine is 7.4-3. However, I am unable to find any available updates to do this. When I reload my (no subscription) repository it says no updates needed and does not load anything <see attached image>. Hoping there is some advice out there for this possible issue. Thanks!

The Temporary failure resolving messages mean that you have a DNS problem. You did not configure a DNS server or made a mistake. Lots of threads about that on this forum.

Thanks for the lead. So, I went into System -> DNS and put https://se-mma-dns-001.mullvad.net/dns-query for search domain, and then 3 of Mullvad's IPs for Ubuntu-based OS. I'm guessing that's not how to do it since it's showing the same errors. Trying to stay away from the Gaggle's 8888. Also, does my DNS in my router settings have to match the DNS info I put into Proxmox?

No but it is common to use the IP address of the router as most of them provide a DNS service (that forwards to the DNS servers configured in the router).
This is not specific to Proxmox and other (Linux) DNS and home network guides on the internet do apply.

Thanks @leesteken . I tried ".local" for search DNS and put 192.168.0.1 for DNS 1, that didn't work. Then I tried "dns.google" for Search Domain and used 8.8.8.8 for DNS 1, and that's not working either. I am able to ping 8.8.8.8 from web GUI shell.

ok so after putting dns.google and 8.8.8.8 I ran

apt-get update

in the shell and it gave me:

Reading package lists... Done

So I ran

apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs

and i did a bunch of stuff.

Now in Summary it show PVE Manager at 7.4-20! YAY! So, I guess my DNS is working??
