Today I dared to upgrade my QNAP with Debian 11 "Bullseye" to Debian 12 "Bookworm".

Successful upgraded QNAPs

I've followed steps from this upgrade tutorial: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade

Last update of this list: 2023-11-11.

I also did with my TS-212P!

I can confirm a successful "Bookworm" upgrade for my TS-219PII and TS-119P+ systems. @amouiche many thanks for your sustainable work!

Confirming success upgrading bullseye to bookworm on my 10 year old TS-212E.

Just a side note: I am running debian on a usb flash instead of the hdds. I was running on a 4gb flash with 800mb left before upgrade. I instead, dd-ed the the flash to an 8gb flash and resized the root parition to 6gb. Glad I did this as during the upgrade the disk usage went up to ~1.4gb. So ensure you have enough space before upgrading.

Also as a precaution, I stopped some services to ensure upgrade had enough resources - TS-212E has 256MB of RAM and I run it without swap no issues.

I also did with my TS-119 P+ II. But WOL is not working (was ok with bullseye). Using qcontrol to handle LEDs is working. But if setting "wol on" is not clear. I also see some changes in the mv643xx ethernet driver.

Formerly used this script before upgarding from buster to bullseye. Now bullseye to bookworm update was a breeze as well by just doing apt full-upgrade on my TS-221. Thank you again!

I've used this script when my TS-221 was still on buster (with stretch kernel for 1GB ram) Added mem=768 to uboot and upgraded successfully buster -> bullseye -> bookworm. Still can´t use the full 1GB ram, but that is less of an issue now. Thanks!

Just updated my old TS219P to bookworm as well, from a disaster recovery restore from QNAP's very old livecd booted from libvirt -- virtuabox was crashing . Fun fact, I had to ssh on that ubuntu 10 (!) to be able to ssh on the qnap after reflashing the recovery image because my laptop (debian bookworm) wouldn't let me ssh directly (no suitable algo found :-) )

Now I can 'apt install borgbackup' on there!

Thanks a lot

Also note that after upgrading to bookworm, it seems my smb performance (copy to nas) is greatly increased.

QNAP TS-212, before (qnap latest firmware) was around 4MiB/sec, after (bookworm firmware) 20 MiB/sec.

Also I changed partition layout to LVM on RAID. which means swap and everything is on raid.
