Server upgrade: day 2

After deleting a few packages that had been installed from the ubuntu stream and were causing major issues, the upgrade somewhat took care of itself. TFTPD-HPA isn't incredibly happy at the moment, but I'll sort that out next time I feel the need to PXE boot anything (there may be a tutorial on exactly how I got BartPE to PXE boot, which would be just a mix of all the information that is already floating around on the internets).


I've already got a working config for the WIDE DHCPv6, so migrating to the ISC version wasn't going to be too difficult - fortunately I found a sweet tutorial which made life easier. Once I'd got my new config set up, all that needed to be changed was /etc/init.d/dhcp with a couple of extra lines



                echo -n "Starting DHCPv6 server: "
                start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $DHCPD6PID \
                        --exec /usr/sbin/dhcpd -- -q -6 -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf $INTERFACES
                sleep 2


                if [ -f "$DHCPD6PID" ] && ps h `cat "$DHCPD6PID"` >/dev/null; then
                        echo "dhcpd6."
                else
                        echo "dhcpd6 failed to start - check syslog for diagnostics."
                fi

It hasn't crashed yet, and I'm hoping that it will be a bit more resilient than the WIDE package. I'll let you know how my testing goes with all my different operating systems here!
