upgrading rpi to bullseye

[basking-in-the-sun2000]

Been having some disconnects (which turned out to be the router) and decided to update the distro to bullseye

Most went without a hitch, but there are some caveats. Will be pushing the changes to make it compatible with pymodbus 3. However, if you decide to upgrade before then, you need to make them (remove sync from pymodbus.client.sync, and change to slave= from unit=)

If you decide to upgrade your distro, think these are all the steps (read all first)
I followed this guide

Before step 8 I ran these commands since I had some issues

sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install gcc-8-base
also had to run upgrade, dist-upgrade and autoclean a few times before everything was fully upgraded

After that, I needed to install some py modules

pip3 install isodate
pip3 install solcast
pip3 install pytz
pip3 install influxdb
pip3 install gpiozero

Didn't need to add repos for grafana nor influx since the built-in already includes them. You can remove the ones you added

You should run cat /var/log/solar/solar.log to make sure it is running correctly. Wait for about 15m to make sure
