for information, I found in directory the backup of this morning ;) if it can help to restart from there...

if you want listen to my advice from earlier this day:
take a new SD card, install the latest RaspberryOS lite and iobroker by curl -sLf https://iobroker.net/install.sh | bash - and restore it there.
and don"t vorget to save your history folder

[Thomas Braun]

@homoran sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

I don't have any clue.

Me neither.

[Tiger]

@homoran

to be honest as I installed everything some years ago... I don't remember everyting to reinstalled.
But I can buy new one and try.

am I right

• Reinstall OS on the new one
• install iobroker with yout command

And after? restore from the backup made?

history is just for temperature... not big issue even if I lost it.

In waiting for that, I suppose that I can use my imagedisk to have my domotic runs?

I'd already try to search to reinstall raspberry, to flash the new SdCard with the raspberry OS lite, Can I do it from my PC windows?
Which version you recommended? (32bit or 64 bit as i've the raspberry pi4) I suppose for me the version lite with desktop?
Why not with desktop and recommended software?

Stupid question... how can I save my backup file from iobroker ? as the file is on the actual sdcard...
thanks

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

Use the Raspberry OS Imager, go for the 64bit (lite) Version.

No Desktop for added security, speed and convenience.

YES!!

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

even though, save the folder /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/history and simply copy it back on the new install.

other questions answered by Thomas. You won't get other answers by me :grinning:

There are no stupid questions at all - just stupid answers!

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

use filezilla, but log in as the same user u will use later on. it should be pi

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
ok I will try... perhaps too hard for my actual knowledge...

I'll comeback when new sdcard will be operating, and when I will have made the command you asked to install.

What I'm going to do...

• Copy the iobroker backup on USB key
• restore from image disk to have access to my domotics
• on new SDcard, install the last Raspberry OSbit without desktop :anguished:
• install iobroker

and come back to have your support.

Many thanks to both of you for your help and time

Filezilla is to send the iobroker backup if I'm right

sorry to much information for me today lol

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

no, I'm sure!
but if you insist, we will brush up your skills.

please ask!

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

Copy the iobroker backup on USB key

that's another possibility - ok

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

restore from image disk to have access to my domotics

don't know about this stuff.
but if you still "play back" an image/mirrored disk, you also play back all faulty stuff.
This wouldn't be a good idea

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

and come back to have your support.

we will wait for you!

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

@homoran sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

filezilla is a file transfer programm using sftp

Of course there is fault, but it's the image of my sdcard when everything was working and all adapters was working too.
With this image, I will be able to have all instances and adapters installed if needed for you

If i install everything new on a new Sdcard after... I don't see the problem.

The only things that I've not in this imagedisk is the backup of iobroker from this morning, that's why I want to have it :)

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

when everything was working and all adapters was working too.

but also with very very old versions, which may not be able to be updated as we have seen today, or am I wrong?

And you can not play back that image and install the latest OS. this will be overwritten

[Tiger]

@homoran
I agree, I'll made a new SD Card.
With all new...
Just hopped that the backup of IOBROKER will avoid me to reprogram everything.

But in this way, I'll always have a version of SD Card with something working untill I've finished the new and correct one :)

version of OS without desktop... will I have internet navigator on it? will it be started from cmd as we made since the beginning?

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

But in this way, I'll always have a version of SD Card with something working untill I've finished the new and correct one

that was the plan! a kind of hardware backup

will I have internet navigator on it?

what for?
a server is maintained by console

[Tiger]

@homoran said in Update System iobroker failed:

what for?
a server is maintained by console

As I don't know the navigation by console :)

that why I thing it should be better for me with desktop instead of your proposal. if not, even to upload log file it will be difficult... today I had just to drag and drop the file... one step by one step :)

Today was a good day as I'm on holiday, but after will be more difficult ;)

Anyway, with or without desktop, we'll achieve a good installation thanks to your help.

once I'll have found back my old trouble version but working... I'll give you the instance and adapter installed

Many thanks

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

It's easier to maintain a server without a desktop.

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

As I don't know the navigation by console

not now! but you will do!
there is just a little you have to do by cmd.
(concerning iob!)
I don't know what the other applications need

[Tiger]

@homoran
@thomas-braun

to finish, after a big stress as I had an error from win32diskimage when writting the old files... but was ok the second time...
All is working as before...

So I've listed instances and adapters (some don't need and was installed for test)
Really need should be at least :

• Node-Red
• Alexa
• S7
• history
• Rfxcom
• Zigbee
• Vis
• script is also used

result for the both list

please stay sit down before reading the version of all my adapters :)

@homoran
Hello,
so, I bought the Sdcard, installed OS Lite...
Connect to my wifi and installed iobroker.

Now I have access to iobroker from my web browser on my PC.

One question, If I understood well, it is possible to connect to the Raspberry pi with computer and made all modification and command from the PC and not directly on the Raspberry Pi correct?
As finally the Raspberry will not be connected to a Screen and keyboard...

But I didn't yet search to do it, one step...

So now, what is the next step to restore the backup ?
Actually the backup is saved on my computer.
And in the webpage of iobroker it's written "WELCOME" and wanted to start the assistant.

Thanks in advance

[Homoran]

wonderful! ...but...

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

why wifi? wired is more stable. No one recommends wifi for a server.

correct!

get yourself a ssh client. i prefer puTTY, but you also can use powershell.

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

Actually the backup is saved on my computer.

therefore you'll need a filetransfer program as filezilla.
If you login to your raspi you should use the credentials of your user you installed iobroker with

caution.
if you know what to do don't use the discovery. just follow the initisl steps and if you choose using credentials, write them down!
