Yeah, upgrading Proxmox is one of the most easy/stable upgrade process's I've seen.

Vorlon,
Yes.. it went very smooth. I was very nervous though because I never did this and was afraid of breaking everything!!!! Luckily it went very smooth. I know I had to setup some update library for those who do not have a subscription. Overall it was a smooth upgrade.

As it's based on Debian, most things that relate to Debian apply. There are things that need doing in the shell, that the GUI can't do. A lot of them are backend related items.

I think that the only part that makes me nervous is when i add drives to my server and expand the volume. I assume that the gpart bootable USB will work on this as it worked on my Ubuntu server. That is the thing i love about tech. There is always something new and exciting to learn.
The other thing i would love to learn is some javascript code that will work with my SynchroNet BBS. I would love to write a few small things. Just to know that i was able to do it. :)

That's just a matter of a apt line... I chnage that right after installing,
as I'm not using the "enterprise/subscription" system either.

I'm in the same boat with reading up on Arexx. But as normal, other ($$ Day job) got in the way... [Updating a few servers to Debian 12, and making sure everything works.]

Vorlon,
Everything is a learning process. I recently got my Dell PowerEdge dual Xeon up and running on Proxmox 8 and I setup a cluster. I then moved 2 out of 3 of my VM's over to the new server. The Dual Xeon runs them so much better than the makeshift i7 with 12gb of RAM. lol I still use that Proxmox to run my Windows 7 VM that runs a small web server and a BBS game server and my Renegade BBS. As i upgrade the PowerEdge with RAM and SSDs, i will add more to it.
My day job also gets in the way of my hobby.. I guess the only difference between my job and my hobby is that my hobby allows me to work on the computers that are mine. lol

To often day job get's in the way! #-0; But part of my day job is also playing around and tinkering with systems.... Ie: Lately has been testing upgrade process from one software version to the next... At the OS level.

Then there is also tinkering with new options idea's in AmiDeb my Amiga emulation system. ( https://amiga.vk3heg.net )

Hello,
I go from place to place and what i work on from day to day can vary greatly. At home, right now i have been going insane over getting SynchroNet working with AmigaNet. I have been going insane because it isn't working and i am not getting any errors.. UGH!!! lol The things i enjoy make me insane sometimes!!! hahahahaha

You Amiganet messages did escape from your system, and there was even a few replys to them... I would have responded myself, but got beeten to the punch line.

You should just be able to mirror the fsx/fido settings, but use amiga net address... They are alfter all using the same technology.

Hello,
I finally got it working. I was using FSXNet and TQWNet as a template for the setup. There were a few differences that I didnt know about until i figured it out!!. :) A big difference was that there is an internal prefix for FSXNet and TQWNet that can not be used with AmigaNet. Also, I was using the Fido Code to route messages to the groups when i needed to use the internal code. On the other networks I setup, these Items were the same.
Like my earlier message, it is the fun in figuring these things out. :)

That's the fun thing about this technology! It might be dated, but there are still things to work out. Once you get things going, it's then just a matter of keeping things in order and small tweeks to the system.

Hello,
Whether it is new tech or old tech, figuring things out and learning is always fun!!!

If you break it, you get all the bits that fell on the floor and then it's
your problem.... %-;
