Hello everybody!
I had recently encrypted, boot included, my Debian 10 (Buster) following this page instructions: https://cryptsetup-team.pages.debian.ne ... -boot.html
However, I, now, would like to upgrade the system to Debian 11 (Bullseye) following instructions found here: https://www.linuxtechi.com/how-to-upgra ... debian-11/, or there: https://www.tecmint.com/upgrade-debian-10-to-debian-11/
Can I perform the upgrade on the encrypted system, or should I decrypt the system beforehand, like this page: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... -partition, seems to sugest typing "cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 somename --type luks" ?

Upgrade to Debian 11 from fully encrypted Debian 10
Re: Upgrade to Debian 11 from fully encrypted Debian 10
Maybe I'm missing something, but why would you need to decrypt anything if you already opened it when you booted up? The latter stackexchange link you posted is about someone using debian installer to reinstall, not upgrade.Can I perform the upgrade on the encrypted system, or should I decrypt the system beforehand, like this page:
It's probably best to follow the section on upgrades here in the release notes.

Quite aside from the encryption, make a good backup on separate media before doing the upgrade. If you upgrade goes south you will be glad to have the backup.

Thanks for the above replies. I will try those and see if everything goes well! It has to!
