Looks like you didn’t do the upgrade to Debian 11 yet. With this update also the php update is done. The update to Debian 11 is necessary to provide further security updates. It can be done the command ncp-dist-upgrade. Please backup all your data before the upgrade. It runs almost always without issues but we can’t test every combination of apps for example. ---

Thanks to both of you for the explanations I’ve already tried to do the update, and I always get an error. Every time I have to restore everything. I’ll do it again and put the error here OliverV, how do you upgrade to 64bit? ---

The upgrade to 64 bit requires a fresh installation. You need to make a backup of your instance. Install the image again. 64 bit is now default. Load your backup. Remember to check first if your device is capable of 64bit. ---

I have 461G of data, so to restore all of it takes a lot of skill. I have already tried, without success. I don’t remember the error. I did it like this: 1. last image on the sd card 2. plug in the disk that will collect the data, problem it is not recognized, in my opinion I have to format it and move the data to it, the problem is that I risk losing all my data if the operation goes wrong. So I don’t want to try. 3. the second disk with the backup, it is not recognized either, it must be mounted and I don’t know how Maybe the easiest thing for me right now would be to fix dhcpcd.service.d ---
