@knight-research - I looked around and dont see any way to enable issues for a "gist" Could be wrong but it sounds like your issue isnt so much with the upgrade/install process as it is with the product functioning.
You might want to post your question here:
https://github.com/jiangcuo/Proxmox-Arm64
or here:
https://github.com/pimox/pimox7
@knight-research, I found this fix on the github.com/jiangcuo page buried in the issues section:
please modify cmdline.txt like
nano /boot/cmdline.txt
put the following parameters to the end of the line
cgroup_enable=cpuset cgroup_enable=memory cgroup_memory=1
Run this then reboot your proxmox node, and it will show the memory for the containers properly.
Edit: Nevermind, the issue is related to something else which I have yet to discover
Hey, this is missing an important step, which is the installation of ifupdown, otherwise the interface where Proxmox is listening doesn't come up when you reboot
Updated this and made sure it works with the latest raspbian lite on Pi 4b and CM4. Should install PVE 8.3.2 as of Jan 2025
Amazing thank you.
Maybe you can enable "issues"? Anybody has a problem with display of the memory usage (summary tab) of a lxc? It never shows any data. Happens with new and resored containers. A time ago i tried on a different server an upgrade from pimox7 to 8 there it works.
