Legacy versions of Domoticz for reinstall

[Toulon7559]

Today having experienced a total failure of upgrade to Domoticz_2025.1 on a series of Raspberries,
perhaps suggestion to have available for user_download readytogo images of some latest, superstable, legacy Domoticz_versions as occurring at 'thresholds'?
Easy/convenient as references for safe rollback by non-specialist_users.

Domoticz_2023.2 was last version safe for running on RPI0_1.1 or ARM61-processor
Domoticz_2024.7 seems last version faultlessly running on OS upto/incl. Bookworm & OpenSSL1.0

Accidents & mistakes occur:
With easy&ready references it is possible to make a fresh reinstall on broken legacy configurations without 'fiddling' with available brethern and makeshifts, or with recompliation from source.

Not a new idea, and for Domoticz for compatible configuration might be linked to the weblink below:
Raspberry OS is available in such way.

You can always revert back to the version before you updated as a backup is made before updating: https://wiki.domoticz.com/Raspberry_Pi# ... ect_update

Also in the GitHub repository you can download the released builds in the release tag. As this is a manual action not all releases are fully uploaded all times.

Also you can look at the docker builds as those are also an archive of released images.

Walter,

Thinking of one type of accident (= SD-card getting corrupted) your suggested rollback-method as safeguard requires that that last, big backup-file is stored outside the SD-card before the actual upgrade is performed (or similar action):
not for the 'simple' user.
By means of Domoticz itself making external backup of the file domoticz.db is not enough for complete restauration.

For that one kind of accident a SD card is failing you better have a full backup available.
Lost of info on the net how to do that.
Also when to create those full backups and make smaller delta backups.
