I made a Buster droplet with digitalocean, and then upgraded it to Beowulf, other than the need to download devuan-keyring by hand, it was painless. It has no desktop software, but apache, mariadb, and php-fpm work fine. The process was: update the sources.list and point it to devuan beowulf download and install devuan-keyring apt-get install sysvinit-core reboot apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get purge systemd apt-get purge unscd #this might be digitalocean´s choice, but it gives me trouble adding users and groups. I think I rebooted another time after this, and that was it. -- Héctor González ca...@genac.org _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
