Is there a guide to in place upgrade?

    levoman: Check THIS post for OMV 4 to OMV 5 upgrade, then come back here. Backup before each operation.

    Riddle me this, riddle me that
    Who is afraid of the big, black bat?
    I write on a blog (Romanian mostly)
    Using latest OMV 7.x (HURRAY) on an Intel i5820K NAS (currently with proxmox kernel 6.11 with Nvidia GPU acceleration enabled)

    I have been trying to upgrade from OMV V5 to V6 by following the instructions from here, but got stuck here:

    pi@pi:~ $ sudo omv-release-upgrade

    Upgrading system to 6.0 (Shaitan) ...

    This system is running a desktop environment! This setup is not supported.

    pi@pi:~ $

    Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

    This is on a RPI4 4GB, running raspian.

    TIA!

    Desktop installs have never been supported.


    Install the lite os then install OMV on top of it

    Thanks for the prompt reply. I think that's what I actually did a few years ago when I initially set it up. I believe I followed the instructions from here with Raspbian Buster Lite. Is this what you were referring to?

    At some point you've installed something that is using desktop packages

    Makes sense. So in order for me to upgrade to OMV from V5 to V6 is there a way to salvage the current install* or it is 'nuke and pave' for me?


    * I have OMV, Portainer with PiHole installed on the SD card.

    Thanks much for your reply. I just tried this, followed by the steps laid out before. Unfortunately I am still getting the

    Post the output of the command I gave you. The script is looking for those exact packages.

    Still no joy.....
    After your command I resumed from Step 2:, but ended up with the same error message.


    Is there anything else I could try?


    Here an excerpt of the log (I had to remove parts to still fit the 10,000 character limit of this forum. but I hope it still helps.)

    My command was not meant to do anything other than give me information since I can't see anything on the system.

    I would reinstall. Your system is a mess with a desktop environment and php7.3. It will take too much back and forth to fix.

    And use arm64 lite version instead of armhf.

    Trying to perform my upgrade but it looks like I have an issue with my sources.list. When running sudo omv-release-upgrade I receive error


    Code
    Err:16 https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates Release
404  Not Found [IP: 151.101.202.132 443]


    Later I will receive the error that Repository 'https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates Release' does not have Release file.


    My sources.list file:


    Code
    deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free


deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye/updates main contrib non-free


deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

    I'm logged into root and I can resolve deb.debain.org so it's not DNS related. Something with that particular source has changed, I'm just not sure how to resolve.

    Change the lines to

    Post the output of

    Thank you for the reply!


    This looks like an issue with the sudo omv-release-upgrade process. I went back to and restored my disc image and repeated the process and no issues until omv-release-upgrade runs and it fails one bullseye repository and now my sourceslist has the failing library. If I fix it with your code from above and run omv-upgrade, OMV will be removed and not reinstalled, and my system will be broken. I'll try and edit the file and run omv-release-upgrade again or try and find where the scrip is getting its source list from (assuming its local) and edit that.


    Looking at the upgrade script, looks like it's at this point the issue occurs.


    Code
    echo "Starting release upgrade ..."
apt-get update
apt-get --yes --force-yes --fix-missing --auto-remove --allow-unauthenticated \
--show-upgraded --option Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" \
--option DPkg::Options::="--force-confold" --no-install-recommends \
dist-upgrade
