Post Install Script to Upgrade to V8 requires V8 to run

[pacmac]

I understand that the post install script can be used to upgrade version 7 to 8, and that as from July (next month) that V8 is required.

However when I run the script to upgrade to V8 I get:

Start the Proxmox VE Post Install Script (y/n)?y
 ✗ This version of Proxmox Virtual Environment is not supported
Requires Proxmox Virtual Environment Version 8.0 or later.

what am I doing wrong ?

Should I just run the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tteck/Proxmox/main/misc/pve8-upgrade.sh instead ?

[Mellowlynx]

First, utilize the command pve7to8 --full to check readiness for the transition.

This command is designed to transition a currently running PVE 7 instance into a running PVE 8 instance.

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/pve8-upgrade.sh)"

To ensure a proper source installation, please respond with "yes" to all questions prompted during the installation process.

[pacmac]

Thanks for the quick response, yes I have already run the pve7to8 --full command and fixed a few issues, and also stopped all instances before upgrading.

The script ran but appeared to fail at the last step with NGINX errors:

Running hook script 'zz-proxmox-boot'..

Not sure yet whether these are critical or what the implications are.

OK, found the issue, it was a bad config entry for a nginx proxy that no longer existed.

All is good

Upgraded 2 servers, thank you.

I was about to look it up, but great that you found the problem.
Could you select my first replay as the answer, please? (It will be closed as Answered, instead of unanswered :) )

OK, I do have now several issues.

NUT server is no longer working and cannot communicate with the UPS over USB even though lsusb shows the UPS, and it was working before upgrade.

Some kind of network issue where dns now returns IPV6 ip addresses and this is causing all requests to fail, i.e system updates, pings etc all now fail.

[pacmac]

Hmm, this now affects all of my containers, now none of them can access the internet due to IPV6 dns lookups which wont resoilve.

[tteck]

Disable IPv6 in your router.

[pacmac]

I am working through the issues, disabled DHCPV6 service on opnsense yet containers are still getting an IPV6 IP, no idea why even after reboot of opnsense and proxmox host and containers.

Also, frigate crashed and was unable to passthrough GPU see here: blakeblackshear/frigate#9574

RuntimeError: Failed to create plugin /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/openvino/libs/libopenvino_intel_gpu_plugin.so for device GPU

Solution for me was to change device: GPU:

detectors:
  ov:
    type: openvino
    device: AUTO

And on Alpine Linux prevent IPV6:

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" >>/etc/sysctl.conf
rc-update add sysctl default
sysctl -p

and on Debian / Ubuntu:

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
echo "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" >>/etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl -p

Still debugging others will update when I have solutions.

so far unable to resolve while NUT has stopped communicating with the UPS over usb.

Googled it and lots of people reporting same issue but no solutions that I can find:
