RECOMMENDED ACTION
Base Camp Connect recommends planning a migration to Proxmox VE 9.x, which is based on Debian 13 “Trixie.”
To minimize operational risk, customers should coordinate the migration with the Base Camp Connect Technical Support team. We do not recommend performing this migration independently, as system-specific factors may require technical validation and support.
