Has anyone else tried this update, particularly the Docker migration? I've upgraded to HAOS 17.0 without issue, but I'ma little nervous to press ahead with the Docker migration... |

In case you're wondering, the wear-out on my NVMes did not advance appreciably. Or at all. This after a few years 24x7 doing much else. I'll be replacing them in about another decade, or if they fill up, or technology significantly advances. For my my three-node 30-core house cluster, at current growth rate that will be when something rusts too badly on the infrastructure. Those SuperMicros are already over six years old, and going strong. NVMes three years, and would outlast the chassis. It was not a significant I/O moment, but the process is disk-write intensive, so the faster the flash, or spinnier the rust the better the experience will be.

Very wise, however the update the HA OS 17.0 was totally uneventful, just the Docker migration tested my nerve and patience... |

I have an aging Dell i5 with an aging SSD and 8GB total split between HA and a bunch of other Docker instances running on an Ubuntu VM on a proxmox host, so I am not surprised that @autoSteve's was thrice as quick. I will replace it when it dies, but not before, because I am a tightarse. The migration seemed straightforward enough, just slow. |

HAOS 17.0 is out - but it may not be for you - there are a number of
This release removes support for the following 32-bit armv7 targets:

Docker Containerd Snapshotter
"Starting with this release, new installations use the Docker containerd snapshotter by default, which provides improved performance and stability. Existing users can migrate to the new storage driver using the following command:"
you should read, review, and understand the migration steps. Note that it requires internet access, and re-downloads all container images.
Because I like living on the bleeding edge, I upgraded, and migrated storage - I should, in theory, see improved performance and stability. Who knows what that means. But I do have a shiny new image, which is back up and running.
When it says it will take some time, my experience on an Intel i5 Proxmox host was around 30 minutes from start to finish.
After the HA command line restarts, the supervisor restart times out, and the HA GUI hangs - but if you go back to the root address (e.g. http://homeassistant.local:8123) you'll see an upgrade in progress screen:
This screen itself hung - so don't be afraid to hit F5 or whatever your refresh key is, or monitor your CPU / IO on whatever you use to monitor your host.
