DracoBlue I had enhance running on a 24.04 install since last week (upgraded enhance while still on 22.04) on one test VPS, I just renamed the apt sources file to .list today and replaced jammy with noble. All went great for me.

I have also tried a backup server first which is still on 22.04 because it dropped the btrfs partition and would not remount it when I upgraded a test one to 24.04.

Ok, my cluster is being hit very lightly today, so I am going to run updates immediately.

ansible script run, everything now up-to-date.

I will update one of our underutilized (as in 2 test sites) servers to 24.04 this evening, and report back.

Upgraded backup server to 24.04. No issues.

DracoBlue

mendozal You use sudo do-release-upgrade command?

mendozal

DracoBlue Yes I did it like that. I'm going to wait for the main servers.

DracoBlue If you want to upgrade to 24.04

This is how I upgraded.

sudo apt list --upgradable sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y reboot

I then used a second ssh port connection for stability

sudo ufw allow 1022/tcp

Make sure all tools are available before upgrade.
sudo apt install update-manager-core

Then I did
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
on two servers I included --allow-third-party as the provider has mirrors

You can select Y or N to remove old packages once finished or manually at a later date

check any third party sources are enabled (eg Ubuntu Pro) they are all under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

and reboot

It is not a good idea to upgrade Ubuntu 22.04 LTS before the release of 24.04.1 LTS.

I recommend waiting until the release of 24.04.1 LTS (scheduled for August 15th, 2024) before upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. This ensures superb stability and minimizes potential compatibility issues with your apps.

A fresh install is safe to do right or are a many packages and depencies not working right now on 24.01 ?
I had a test enviroment with 22.04 but with al the improvements and the things that come i want to reinstall everything from scratch and make it production ready.

A fresh install is safe

yes I think it is

marvine I Just finished a fresh install on 24.04 works just fine, did not run into any problems.

Ok, I chose to test do-release-upgrade on an unused server in the cluster. It went well except that our Netplan yaml had the older gateway directive, and the actual interface name changed on boot of 24.04. This caused the network interface to be "lost" after upgrade.

Be sure to have net-tools installed in 22.04 to easily find the interface (ifconfig -a) once the update runs.
Change any net config yaml files (if you use cloud init) to the newer directives for the gateway (-to: default ; via ip of router).

After fixing that minor glitch, the server is up running 24.04, and seems to work without issue.

My sources.list.d weren't functioning for the Enhance and Docker part after update from 22.04 to 24.04, so I made these files to comply with the 24.04 way of handling apt sources and now they do work:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/enhance.sources
Types: deb URIs: https://apt.enhance.com/ Suites: noble Components: main Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/enhance.gpg

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/enhance.sources
Types: deb URIs: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/ Suites: noble Components: stable Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

3.1.1 just released!

Also tested 24.04 on a new server and works well.

ecknz

rdbf Usually during the upgrade the sources get updated, if they don't update they will be named eg enhance.list.distUpgrade. Ubuntu Pro updated automatically.

To fix the sources you need to edit the file and replace jammy with noble and then save and rename to .list using the old format which will work or as you posted using that format.

If you just rename the .list.distUpgrade file to .sources then you will get an update error ---> Malformed stanza 1 in source list.

As I already upgraded the OS on a test VPS last week still using the 3.01 appcd, I just changed the apt list files from jammy to noble today for the new version.

Updated from the original sources and saved as .list

deb [arch=amd64, signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/enhance.gpg] https://apt.enhance.com noble main

and

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu noble stable

Probably should update the files to match the newer format though for future updates

I reinstalled and migrated the DNS, Backup and Mail servers on new 24.04 servers. CP and Web servers are still on 22.04. So far the 24.04 are working fine, no issues. CP and appcd on latest versions on all servers.

Darkle

In the docs still Ubuntu 22.04 LTS server as hardware requirement (https://enhance.com/docs/getting-started/installation-guide.html#installation-steps), does this mean that this is no longer the case?

I'm about to test the panel on a new server so I was wondering whether to go to 24.04 already.

You can go straight to 24.04. Docs will be updated soon.
