Thx, for feedback do you use the web ui or the transmission-cli (command line or/and gui)

I will setup a seedbox for share all linux iso.

I want do rss > torrent.

Maybe the devuan team should think about provide the rss.

I try to do some several tests on beowulf if i have the time.

Why ?

I need it for dominate the world and some time for my daily job.

I use proxmox for my virtualisation need.
I always encrypt my hard drive and use lvm on it. Sometimes i use raid but ceph look good but i need hardware for that.
I use xfs but maybe i should migrate to btrfs tell me.

For Desktop i use i3, i want sway but i love network functionalities on X11. And some of my coworker use kde and xfce.
I try to take care about privacy.
I want to improve qualities and security on free software.

I love rfc and standard.

I will add info when work & test are done

❲❳ --> not start
❲✗❳ --> currently failed
❲✓❳ --> work

Tests cases :

General :

Respect the debian naming convention should be better for iso …
2 mini .iso for 2 architectures is not fun for my wget.

web server  :
- apache
- php
- postgresql
- mpm_itk
- nextcloud and some others

** debian testing -> devuan testing 
❲❳

** devuan stable -> devuan testing 
❲❳

seed box
- transmission-daemon
- amuled
- smb
❲❳

** debian testing -> devuan testing
❲❳

** devuan stable -> devuan testing
❲❳

KDE
- full KDE setup
❲❳

I3
- full i3
❲❳

XFCE
- full xfce
❲❳

If you know how to make some unit testing on the UI tell me i try to automate it.
I want to focus several tasks (i already have done an email about that). Make it better and provide good default (usable out of the box) configuration but allow easily to advances users to custom there setup.

Desktop :
- web browsing
- music player 
- text editing
[...]

Dev :
- Desktop +
- edi
- needed language package

Art :
- Desktop +
- needed software

Gamers, etc

Feel free to ask me more information and/or tell me advices

Improve security and quality of default install but for it make sense this should be done debian side i guess.
Improve the broke & rebuild function for keep a system clean and re-up it easely.
Something like https://nixos.org/nix/ does.

Well that's strange.  Could any of the devs speak to this?

We need more information for that and a post should be open for that in more appropriate place.
In can be interresting information :
- hardware information
- package list with version
- details of file/s copy (size, number type)

This is a testimony of a not full working, without care migration.

Why ?
- Because for me it’s the best way to see troubles, and things need to be improve.

How ?
- I just follow like a stupid idiot the https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev … e-to-ascii

What ?
- Debian stretch server with some services comes from debian repo and some others.

Services :
- slapd
- postgresql (main databases)
- mariadb (only one)
- apache2 (with mpm_itk )
- fusiondirectory
- gitlab (with apache)
(and others)

Services from other repository :
- jenkins

Websites (not from repo) :
- nextcloud
- dolibarr
- dotclear
- kanboard
- cakephp base website

Results :

- Migration works
- Post migration tasks not working as we can expect. «Causes are not only devuan»

From the wiki :

Post migration tasks

systemd components should now be removed from the system.

root@devuan:~# apt-get purge systemd-shim

If you are not using D-Bus or xorg you might be able to remove libsystemd0.

root@devuan:~# apt-get purge libsystemd0

Purge any orphaned packages left over from your previous Debian install.

root@devuan:~# apt-get autoremove --purge

This is a good time to clean out old package archives left over from your Debian system.

root@devuan:~# apt-get autoclean

Some packages need libsystemd0. Because they need X i guess so when i try

 apt-get purge libsystemd0  

some package want to be remove.
In my case they are ffmpeg* gitlab* libavdevice57* libpulse0* libsdl2-2.0-0* libsmbclient* libsystemd0* openjdk-8-jre* openssh-server* php-fpm* php-smbclient* php7.0-fpm* postgresql* postgresql-9.6* postgresql-contrib* postgresql-contrib-9.6* samba-libs*

Maybe i have done something wrong ? Or it’s just the fact i use package not systemd free ready.

An other point not devuan related but can be usefull before a upgrade. When you purge mariadb scripts keep databases but not when you purge postgresql.

And for the end it’s look like my install is broken at least some part because   

sudo -u www-data php ./occ integrity:check-core

from nextcloud it crash. But i think it’s not devuan related but  php-fpm vs libapache2-mpm-itk. (i will investigate)

I hope this post can help.
