Add comprehensive Proxmox VE 7.1 → 9.1 upgrade plan
Create detailed two-phase upgrade strategy for Proxmox hypervisor:
- Phase 1: 7.1 → 8.4 (Debian Bullseye → Bookworm)
- Phase 2: 8.4 → 9.1 (Debian Bookworm → Trixie)
Plan includes:
- Pre-upgrade preparation and backup procedures
- Step-by-step upgrade execution for both phases
- Service validation and dependency order
- Rollback procedures for failure scenarios
- Risk assessment with mitigation strategies
- Timeline: 3-4 weeks total, ~4 hours downtime
Critical considerations:
- 8 LXC containers + 17 VMs to maintain
- Production services (Discord bots, databases, Gitea, n8n)
- Home Assistant dual network requirements
- LXC systemd compatibility checks for PVE 9
