instead of filezilla, can I put on USB key? more easy for me I think.

but not for me :-)

surely you can do. But I don't know about mount and so.

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

Are you speaking chinese?

no! it's suaheli!

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

Supposed you are speaking about the assistant shown in the web browser with iobroker.

Yes!
but after the initial settings, there you will be asked to start an automated device search. (this is the discovery adapter)
I think you don't need it. Maybe it will bring more confusion than benefits.

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

how I will use the restore...

using the cli with iobroker restore filenameOfBackup you first have to copy the backup into /opt/iobroker/backups. after a clean install you have to create this folder

then you can call the restore command with the appropriate filename

Can I change the password of my Raspberry? I let the "pi" username, but if I activate the SSH... It should be better to have another password.

you should!
at bootup the pi will tell you that not changing it is a security issue!

@homoran

Connexion from distant PC : Done
Password change : Done

but not for me 🙂

No you're a specialist :) If I understood weel, I have juste to copy the file from my USB key to the folder you mentionned...
If it's correct, I will search how to copy it :)

Searching is easy for me... finding... it's different :blush:

You instist, but how can I change the rights?
I've just coopy the backup file from the old Sdcard...
Used same user in the Raspberry.

Or you mean the username and password of iobroker? if it's that... I've to restart and you've to tell me how to find it frome the old system... and hoping I can change this... if not I will have to restart from beginning :)

or there is something I'd miss... we'll see...

Maybe? for sure :)

@tiger

The backup file is on the usb stick now?
And it is sticking in the USB port of your raspberry?

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
yes it is
and USB key is inserted
file name is

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

Which path?
Is that FileZilla that you are using as a filemanager?

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
file is directly on the usb key, not in a folder

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
I've nothing installed on the raspberry
only iobroker and the OS lite

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

But in Linux all files are in a path.
Usually usb sticks are mounted in /media/

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
I understand, but As I said... as I don't know Linux... difficult to know the path :)

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

But where is the stick now plugged? In your Desktop computer? In your Raspberry?

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
plug on the raspberry, and i've install without desktop... as recommended

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

I don't get it...

ls -la /media

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun

Sorry, I didn't found up to know how to copy text from PuTTY

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

Copy the backupfile from your Desktop computer over to the Raspberry with FileZilla. Target directroy /opt/iobroker/backups

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
ok, I've to search how to achieve it... Filezila should be installed on raspberry? or only on y desktop computer?

If you've a website with some tuto or explanation... it should good :)

I'm going to work now... will try later.

Thanks a lot.

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
ok found an explanation...
will try later.

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun

everything done..
try to restore...
but

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ iobroker restore 2022_08_15-10_41_07_backupiobroker.tar.gz
iobroker controller daemon is not running
host.raspberrypi OK.
The current version of js-controller differs from the version in the backup.
The js-controller version of the backup can not be restored automatically.
To restore the js-controller version of the backup, execute "npm i iobroker.js-controller@3.1.6 --production" inside your ioBroker directory
If you really want to restore the backup with the current installed js-controller, execute the restore command with the --force flag

but

what a luck!

as @crunchip mentioned you should install vis before restore
so please do it now.

---

the fialog asks you what controller you wsnt to have.
The actual install also has the actual controller.

Your backup has an ancient one

so please install vis iobroker install vis after that make another try ant choose the

restore command with the --force flag

i.e.

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:
iobroker restore 2022_08_15-10_41_07_backupiobroker.tar.gz --force

(i hope)
