[SOLVED] Upgrading Debian 11 LXC with PBS to Debian 12, should I wait?

[MightySlaytanic]

Hi,
I've been running PBS for some months on an LXC Debian 11 container and I was wondering if I could upgrade LXC Debian to bookworm (12) release or if I should wait and official release of PBS running on Debian 12 before performing the upgrade. Any suggestion? There is no hurry for me to upgrade to Debian 12, is just to know what's the best thing to do.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Please wait, there is no bookworm based PBS available for now.

Dear Tom, could you give me an idea of when the bookworm container images will be available? (I do not need an exact date, I would be happy knowing if it will be June, July or August... or September )

End of June (earliest). If we see issues, it will take longer.

Thank you for your quick reply!!

You could create it on your own (commit with correct settings is already there) but its up to you. I’ve Upgraded all of my lxc already without any issues

dMopp: thank you for the suggestion, but this is far beyond my skills (I would have no idea where to start from). I will wait that the right ones do the job as they are much more reliable than myself. I have been waiting since November (I need samba 4.17+ and I want to run in a "supported" scenario), so I can wait one or two months more

 

[dMopp]

In that case yes, far better idea

...as now
pveam available
shows me one
debian-12-standard_12.0-1_amd64.tar.zst
I imagine that you have been even faster than what you expected, and debian12 is available as LXC template.
Do I understand things right?

Today I’ve updated PVE to 8.0 in order to have kernel 6.x also for PBS which is running in an LXC container and I’ve upgraded the PBS container to Debian 12 along with PBS 3.0 and everything seems to work like a charm ;-) nice job!
