Upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4

[fhagemann]

Hi!

I am trying to upgrade a server ver. 3.3 to 3.4 (and later to 4.x). Original install from ISO in VM, no subscription...

proxmox-backup-server 3.3.0-1 running version: 3.3.0

/etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib
# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib

apt-get update

Hit:1 http://security.debian.org bookworm-security InRelease
Hit:2 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease
Hit:3 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease

apt-get dist-upgrade

Hit:1 http://security.debian.org bookworm-security InRelease
Hit:2 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease
Hit:3 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates InRelease

What am I missing to upgrade to 3.4? I think I am missing the specific proxmox repo for PBS.

Any pointers appreciated...

Regards,
Felix

Hi,

Have you read and followed the upgrade doc[0] ?

I did, it starts with upgrading top 3.4. Here is what I missed:

File: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proxmox.sources

Types: deb
URIs: http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs
Suites: trixie
Components: pbs-no-subscription
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/proxmox-archive-keyring.gpg

I created the file, and changed "trixie" to "bookworm". Now the upgrade works as expected. I assumed this different format was only for installations based on trixie...

Hi,

I assumed this different format was only for installations based on trixie...

Is it, it's the now format.

My PBS (installed from ISO) has this configuration file and it can update :

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs bookworm pbs-no-subscription

And from the WebUI :

While you can mix the old and the new format, the new (deb822) format has been supported since (at least) bullseye and is recommended since trixie.

You can convert all your sources to the new format using:
apt modernize-sources
