Updating modules through MMM-Remote-Control

[Nneuland]

Hi,

I recently attempted to update modules through the MMM-Remote-Control module via my phone.
I shouldnt have. Something went wrong and the mirror no longer automatically boots on start up. Is there a trick to using this feature for clean updates?

Thanks in advance

@Nneuland depends on the module. all the ones that use gpio pins will need an electron-rebuild, for which the process changed.

if u upgrade mm base, same thing. my upgrade script tries to handle all that. don’t know what remote control does, but it’s old, so probably not

Thanks Sam. Could you share a link to your upgrade script?

@sdetweil
This is wonderful! Thank you Sam!!!

@Nneuland if u have already tried to upgrade the base, you can try
upgrade w parameter

force

instead of

apply

this overrides the version check

Great to know. Thank you.

Is https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing
for auto update

[sdetweil]

@Nneuland no auto update. in my opinion still too risky
