    Hello. I have an installation that I have maintained over the years with
    Debian and DRBL server, which we launch from Rundeck via SSH.

    The problem has arisen with Debian 13 because the systemd package excludes
    a package from the project's official repository, namely mkpxeinitrd-net.

    I have already read that the alternative you offer is LITE Server, but it
    is not a feasible option as it does not allow the DHCP service to be
    designated on a secondary interface, and it does not have all the
    functionality we previously had with drblsrv -i and drblpush -i
    together with drbl-ocs.

    The alternative to this situation is Devuan 6, which is equivalent to
    Debian 13 but without systemd. I would like to know if the future lies
    solely with Clonezilla LITE Server, leaving DRBL Server to die out.

    Thank you very much for reporting this issue.
    Could you please give unstable DRBL a try?

      My problem is with an upgrade from Debian 12. In a new Debian 13 installation without problems with unstable branch of DRBL.

      Can you move this thread to the Clonezilla Server Edition forum?

    Phew, I've got it installed on Devuan Excalibur now and it's working. On another update cycle.

    Thanks.
