    Hi...
    My ISP3 3.3.1
    ISP3 Manager Machine (Master): Debian 11 (Apache - main ISP Panel)
    ISP3 WebServer Machine (Slave): Debian 12 (Apache, Mysql)
    ISP3 MailServer Machine (Slave): Debian 9 (Postfix, Mailman, Mysql, powerDNS))

    I'm going to upgrade to Trixie on all servers and got soem questions:
    1. How (If possibile) use interactive installer to be able to choose what to install (ie. I use pdns not bind). It was possibile in older versions
    2. How to force install powerdns (without cache - I have external dns)) instead of bind?
    3. Installer asks to not to install mailman.... If I choose to install I will get MM3?
    4. How to choose during installation Slave/Master? Web manager is only in my Master server.

    Thanks in advance

    The auto-installer is a tool to install new systems; it's not used for upgrades. So your questions regarding auto installer do not apply to the task of upgrading the OS of your servers.. Upgrades are be done by upgrading the operating systems and then performing an ISPConfig update. You can find various ISPConfig and Debian update and upgrade guides here at howtoforge.

    We do not support PoerDNS as a standard setup, so it's neither installed by the auto-installer nor configured by the ISPConfig installer. If you want to use it, you will have to install and configure it manually. Mailman is not supported anymore as Mailman2 is not maintained, and Mailman3 is incompatible. Please take a look at the installation tutorial; it contains a command-line reference of the available autoinstaller options, and you might also want to take a look at the recent multiserver install guides, which show how to install a multiserver setup with different services per server using the auto-installer.
