I am personally looking forward to this upgrade ( will wait a few weeks before we will test it, I just wish to say pass on the first round of bugs and rats)

Any of you already did an upgrade / install for 8.4 even if under a test environment?

cheers!

Thanks for pointing this out - upgraded within GUI just completed. Not that I utilise anything other than basics.

I will wait a couple of days and then upgrade my OVH node to this one...

somik · April 14

Sigh... need to update all 3 nodes (first world problems)

Thanks for letting us know, and reminding me that I haven't run updates in a while!

Updated few days ago.

No bug found so far.

AaronSS · April 14

I always upgrade immediately. I’ve never had an issue. So much I’m thinking of just doing a daily task to run updates.

I don't know when but I was already upgraded to 8.4 in both my servers lol
ps. just upgraded to 8.4.1

No issues so far

Been a minute since I've used PVE, but, never had any issues with it - was always a pleasure to use.

I've often wanted to check out Proxmox Mail Gateway, but it hasn't happened yet. That might be a matter for another thread, however

I wanted to wait a couple more days, but when I saw first two comments mentioning the update, I've done it last night, no issues afterwards.

wonder when will proxmox ve 9 be released. having debian trixie would be handy

ViveHosting · April 21

Upgrading was a breeze across a whole cluster of servers.
I'm usually the guy who waits at least a few weeks before doing upgrades like this but we had a relatively new cluster sitting around so it made sense.

The "pve7to8 --full" seems unhappy about my install...will probably leave it to 9 and do a fresh install lol.

You need to update your proxmox to the latest 7.x version first. Then you should be able to upgrade to 8.x, but since I usually upgrade mine when the new 8.0 came out, you probably would be better with a fresh install to 9.0

Running the new release on a small N150 mini pc for some monitoring probe containers. First time using Proxmox in many years.

Don't think it's the repo that's the issue. Just a warning but idk boot/grub/efi stuff is still a mystery to me & don't want to take down the server atm so will just pause it till I have a free weekend

WARN: System booted in uefi mode but grub-efi-amd64 meta-package not installed, new grub versions will not be installed to /boot/efi! Install grub-efi-amd64.

Got one of these as firewall last weak. Solid so far! Even got a +100ish mbit internet speed improvement out of it

Currently trying to learn hyprland+tmux+neovim...each has some concept of windows/tabs and just feels like navigation inception. Windows key+arrow to navigate hyprland, ctrl+B+numbers to navigate within tmux sessions and within that tmux terminal in the neovim its Ctrl+w l to switch windows. Except if the window in neovim is a terminal...that happens to be in insert mode....then it's ctrl+\ ctrl+n ctrl+w l...because of course it is.

Offtopic, which one did you guys get? Planning to get one myself but not sure on which to get. Was looking for a fanless model (like my old J1900 mini PC) and N100/150 are the top ones shown. Now not sure if i should go with fanless for a 24/7 running device in 2025...

N100/150 should be fine running fanless 24/7 with <10w TDP. will perform much better than old J1900 too (now it has VMX).
