Trying to upgrade from a 2021 release to the latest one, absolutely no idea whether this will work or not…

Originally I abandoned this install because the API I used to integrate a DIY addressable LED strip (controlled by a media player entity, changed colour to match the cover art) was removed and replaced with something else, and I didn’t have time to redevelop it.

For a while its been possible to do something pretty similar with WLED - at that point I was just putting off the upgrades to not break anything 😅

At this point it’s probably a better idea to re-install but let’s see how this goes!

    It’s possible from the command line. And how I will do this when I’m eventually forced to.

      Oh no 😂😂 what version are you on now?

      I remember a looong while ago when I broke my virtualized install by trying to update with too little virtual disk space, had to expand it and manually install the latest core from a shell within the VM. On another occasion the sqlite database completely filled up the virtual disk (I disabled automatic pruning of old data) and that was a pain to export… eventually dumped it into a dedicated MySQL installation and all was well after that.

      I’ve seen that they now have A/B boot (similar to how Android devices do) so hopefully these are issues of the past

        I think I’m about 9 months back or more. Sick of breaking changes and I know there are a lot coming up. Seeing how long I can hold out ;-).
