I have a 5 node Proxmox Virtual Environment currently running at version 5.4-13
I have a 2 node PMG service that I also run based on LXC containers.

Am I able to update the existing LXC containers (as supplied by the Proxmox team) to the latest version of Buster and Proxmox 6.1 while still keeping my base PVE environment at its current version?

Thanks as always!
 
hi,

you can do that. just make sure you have the latest version of pve-container for the debian buster support. (on stable-5 branch, this is pve-container 2.0-41).
 
Perfect! Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciated. I am good to go. Is there anyway to upgrade my existing container to the latest version or is it better to backup the configs for the PMGs and the setup clean and import the configs?
