Ensure ‘Enable backup rsync service’ is enabled in your Ugreen Control Panel, and select an existing user that will be used when transferring with rsync:

To rsync a local folder to your Ugreen NAS, use:
rsync -avz ./local-folder/ user-enabled-for-rsync@your-ugreen-ip:NAME_OF_SHARE
Note that instead of using the path of a folder on a volume, e.g. /volume1/folder, if folder is the name of the share, use this as the target path without any absolete path prefix.
This is hinted at in this post, and while it seems to differ from how you’d normally specify a remote destination, this is how rsync on a Ugreen appears to work.
I have Proxmox 8 installed on my Mac Pro 2008 which I’ve run for a few years. Noticing that there was recently an update to 9, I followed the inplace upgrade instructions here, followed all the prompts during install as per the guide and everything went well.

After upgrade and reboot:

The only question I ran into was this prompt about updating an UEFI boot loader:
Removable bootloader found at '/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi', but GRUB packages not set up to update it!
Run the following command:
echo 'grub-efi-amd64 grub2/force_efi_extra_removable boolean true' | debconf-set-selections -v -u
Since I’ve tried installing OCLP on this Mac Pro before, I assumed this was something to do with that … so ignored it, rebooted…. and everything was ok …
