The AI ran my server upgrade: 3 nodes, 30 containers, no drama

He upgraded Proxmox on 3 nodes, with about 30 containers moving from Debian 12 to Debian 13, and put Opus at the wheel. The upgrade finished with zero drama.

How it works

  1. Puts Opus in charge of the upgrade
  2. Proxmox on 3 nodes is upgraded
  3. About 30 LXCs move from Debian 12 to Debian 13
  4. The upgrade finishes with no problems

Why it’s worth knowing

An OS upgrade across 3 nodes and about 30 containers is the kind of job people put off for months. He handed the whole run to Opus and it came back done, with zero drama.
