Upgrading 20.04 with Zabbly Incus packages

Incus
1

Hi there,

I have a Incus host still running Ubuntu 20.04 with Incus packages from Zabbly. Due to the fact, that Ubuntu 20.04 is EOL, Zabbly has removed the incus packages from its servers. Because of that I already had to remove the sources to be able to install last Ubuntu-Updates.

Now I’d like to do a release upgrade to 22.04 (or then 24.04).

Is it safe to run do-release-upgrade or will incus be deinstalled during the process? In that case is it safe for the incus-db and the containers if incus is deinstalled and reinstalled with the packages for the new, upgraded distribution? Or do I have to add the new zabbly sources at a certain point of the upgrade process?

Thanks for your support!

The release upgrade process should tell you what’s about to be removed.

It does deactivate all external repositories, so you’ll definitely need to set up the package source again after upgrade.

I’m hoping it won’t find a reason to straight up remove the Incus packages, we don’t have any tight dependencies so it really shouldn’t, but pay close attention to what the upgrade logic tells you it’s about to do.
