proxmox-upgrade

This playbook automates the upgrade process for Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) and Proxmox Backup Server (PBS).

Currently following upgrade paths are supported:

Proxmox Virtual Environment version 7->8
Proxmox Backup Server version 2->3

This playbooks follows the instructions from the offical documentation:

This is a work in progress, if you find any bugs or problems please open a new issue.

details of PVE upgrade:

check prerequisites
create backup of important configuration files under /var/backups
install latest packages from current version
shutdown virtual maschines
Debian dist-upgrade
reboot

I highly recommend running the pve7to8 --full checklist tool first and fix all detected problems before upgrading.

You should also use it after the upgrade to verify that everything is ok.

details of PBS upgrade:

check prerequisites
create backup of important configuration files under /var/backups
install latest packages from current version
put datastores in read-only mode
Debian dist-upgrade
reboot
put datastores back in write mode
check needed services
