BOA Upgrade / Network interface Error

[velpan]

Is it ok to go from BOA 4.1.1.dev to the last version BOA 5.2.0 on a Jesie Debian system?

Update: I tried the command barracuda up-lite and I get the message

ERROR: BOA requires the classic network interface naming convention.
ERROR: Typically it should be eth0 and not ens3 systemd convention.

When I run the command ip addr show I get

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

Thank you for your support.

Please read docs/UPGRADE.txt , specifically the part about the OS upgrades.
BOA doesn't want to see systemd anymore.

We always removed systemd on Debian, it’s not relevant here.

The problem is that Jessie is just way too old for smooth upgrade with BOA tools.

Currently Stretch is the oldest Debian version BOA supports for upgraded to Devuan.

Still, it’s perfectly possible to upgrade Jessie too, but on some hosts it may crash hard.

If you are not experienced enough to manage major OS upgrade manually to debug and fix issues, consider installing new BOA server and migrating all sites.

Alternatively you can request paid support to upgrade your legacy BOA server at omega8.cc/contact

@velpan Please pay attention to warnings displayed. Your network interface is fine, you just need to add something to kernel configuration as explained on screen.

To reiterate: you can run barracuda upgrade on Jessie, but it will fail to rebuild PHP, so you should use the option for major system upgrade to Stretch first — don’t use the auto-upgrade scripts. It will allow you notice and fix issues which are inevitable for Jessie. Once on Stretch you can auto-upgrade to Chimaera easily. Unfortunately we no longer have any Jessie server for testing, only Stretch is still tested.

Thank you for the info.

You mean to use this option _JESSIE_TO_STRETCH=YES first, right?

[omega8cc]

@velpan Yes.
