I tried this tutorial Mender-Convert and opted for the Docker version. Currently, the image from here is running on my Raspberry Pi. I downloaded the same image cleanly from the Raspberry Pi homepage (Bullseye 2022-09-22) and then completed the configuration on another Raspberry Pi. Since the image is quite large, I used PiShrink to shrink it, and then I processed it with mender-convert as described in the tutorial. The deployment went smoothly until the end when a rollback occurred. This is the Log:
