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!

    Uh, good luck! It’s giving me cold sweats just looking at that version disparity!

    If it were me I’d be looking at doing some intermediate upgrades to help it along, if that’s even possible. But hey, it might work, please report back!

      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 ;-).
