Firstly, to clarify, you don't NEED to use TKLBAM, but it is what we recommend and technically the only method we support (despite that, I'll happily give you "best effort" support).
If you want to give TKLBAM a go, you'll need to sign up for the TurnKey Hub separately (the user DB is separate to the website).
It's worth being aware, that under the hood, TurnKey is Debian (v16.x = Debian 10/Buster; v17.x = Debian 11/Bullseye, he upcoming v18.x = Debian 12/Bookworm). So a "Debian style in place upgrade" is an alternate option. It's not as smooth as it could be (e.g. you'll need to manually download the updated TurnKey apt signing key), but it is possible. I hope to make it smoother in future, but not sure when I'll get to that, my todo list is huge!
Anyway, good luck with it all and please don't hesitate to open a new thread if you have any questions or feedback for us.
