Updates

[Bungle68]

My mirror has been working perfectly for ages now. Can I ask the best way to deal with updates? Either the main MM firmware or module updates.
It’s been that long since I updated mine, I completely forgot and have now messed it up, so have to start over.
Which is a total pain. So any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

@Bungle68 I do it on a per module basis as there’s really no front end for it. Get the notification from the app, go to the module’s directory, and git pull and npm install to update.

As for the main unit, I used @sdetweil 's script to install, so I use his update script to update - Don’t know if you can update without the initial install being his script.

@BKeyport not that some modules still don’t reflect the missing libs , so manual update will cause failures too.

you can upgrade the base without my script, but you have to figure out dependencies like node version, and solve them yourself

you can use my upgrade script even if you didn’t use my install script.

@Bungle68 you might be able to use my upgrade script with the parm
force
instead of
apply

to upgrade the base
