I'm trying to follow the instructions and upgrade from PBS 1.1 to 2.x. The instructions say:

Code:
apt update
apt dist-upgrade
# verify version:
proxmox-backup-manager versions
proxmox-backup-server 1.1.11-1 running version: 1.1.11 (or higher)

But I can't get to version 1.1.11 if I dist-upgrade with pve-no-subscription.

My /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster main contrib

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib

# no subscription
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster pve-no-subscription

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

My /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pbs-enterprise.list:
Code:
#deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/pbs buster pbs-enterprise

dist-upgrade does nothing for me:
Code:
root@pbs-flash:~# apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org buster/updates InRelease
Hit:2 http://download.zerotier.com/debian/buster buster InRelease
Hit:3 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:4 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease
Hit:5 http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve buster InRelease

Rebooting doesn't help.

Note that I do have a Proxmox subscription but the Proxmox Backup Server subscription is way too expensive for my homelab hobby projects.
 
not working for the non subscribers
why not?

follow the docs, if you have issues, please post details of your problems.
