Finally getting around to upgrading my home server from Debian bookworm (12/oldstable) to trixie (13/stable).
`apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs` went smoothly enough, just a few config files with local tweaks.
Currently wishing I had FTTP for the `apt full-upgrade` downloads. I'm "languishing on only 80Mbps FTTC".
I expect to have some issues to sort out once this bit is done, and I still need to re-activate/update my third-party repositories....
Hours later and it mostly went smoothly.
1. postgresql 15 -> 17 cluster upgrade required an astounding amount of extra disk space. Ended up doubling that partition size from 10G to 20G (despite only 6.6 GB used beforehand, 15G wasn't enough).
2. Ah, so that's the fun and games with dovecot config grammar changes.
3. Why did rsyslog.service fail to listen to a TCP port (logging from my desktop) at boot ? A restart had it work fine....
4. No, OpenSSH, I don't need you to ban 'bad' IPs, I use fail2ban for that.
Now for the grind of updating/adding logcheck ignore lines for new and changed bits of logging....
