Sorry, I didn’t mean to insinuate you were being insulting!
“Don’t feel crazy/bad/dumb, I’ve had the same thing happen to me!” is a pretty common phrasing in my region to show sympathy and understanding and I thought that’s what you had meant (and it sounds like for your area, ‘pregnant’ serves the same general purpose!).
It’s always crazy how that happens sometimes and after weeks of banging your head, everything just ‘clicks’ when you’re exposed to the information in the way that works best for you!
Dude, don’t feel pregnant.
Context clues, I assumed this autocorrect was some variation of crazy/bad/dumb? :-D
Weirdness: My Authentik instance had a PostgreSQL upgrade prerequisite in order to update it.
I’d followed instructions 3-4 times completely unsuccessfully and had to keep reverting to backup.
So, I gave up for a couple weeks and left it be in order to get over my frustration.
Yesterday, I followed the instructions again. As far as I can tell, I did nothing different than I’d tried previously and it worked first try and then I was also able to upgrade Authentik.
NOTE: The instructions aren’t exactly difficult! So, I don’t see how I’d have gotten it wrong!
VMs can also be live migrated to another server in the cluster with no downtime and backups don’t need to take the VM down to do their thing. If in the future you want to move to physical hardware, you can use something like Clonezilla to back it up (not needed often, but still, something to consider).
Both have their places, but those factors are the main ones that come into play of when I want to use a VM or LXC.
