Update to latest Beta (15686) failed

And if you do not want to update use the docker version of Domoticz....

What about the MQTT brooker and your plugins for Domoticz. Is the description in wiki complete and tested? Or do I get new and other problems to face when I move a running Domoticz to a docker version?

Depends on your environment.

I am no fan of Docker but if you do not want to update your OS then this is the only solution. There is no paid crew behind Domoticz (unlike Homeassistant) that can test any update scenario so knowledge is based on user experience like you.

That you are using Domoticz beta should implicate you should have more experience in RPi and Domoticz than others. Else stay on Domoticz Stable, then the other beta users have experienced update issues like this and they are being solved or wiki documentation is being updated.

RPi build servers reverted back to buster so new beta builds should work again.

Warning for users on an old RPi OS:

After a new stable release the build servers are going to update to bookworm and will be using OpenSSL 3

And now I find that my SD-card is corrupt.

Hello @EdwinK,

I experience similar issues, if I try to update my test system, that is running on a Raspberry Pi 1B (arm v6)

The update on my production system went OK (armv7)

But while trying to update the RPI1 my system crashed (ssh disconnected)
A reboot was required, before I could do a second attempt

That second attempt gave the same result as the first one:

Dec 04 18:45:57 RPi1 systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Home Automation System...
Dec 04 18:45:58 RPi1 domoticz.sh[1501]: Illegal instruction
Dec 04 18:45:58 RPi1 systemd[1]: Started LSB: Home Automation System.

So, I believe the old situation has not been restored.

Not going to support this 14 year old device
You can always build yourself if you want too

Hello @gizmocuz,

I fully understand that you cannot continue support for older devices, but a Raspberry Pi 1B is not 14 years old, but dates back to 2012
I use it for testing beta stuff and support for other users.
On the other hand, a lot of (beta) users are taken by surprise and so will be that with stable users as well, as soon as a new stable release will be released. I don't mind that my test system will be on 15679, until I will compile a newer version myself or I will replace my test system with newer hardware.

But if beta (test) users are not informed in advance, they will continue to report issues and that is where beta users are for.
I would not have reported this issue, if I knew that the build environment had been set up for armv7 and not armv6

But I appreciate your good work, so heads up

Regards

updated to 15697 just now and got it working on RPi 3B+.I had to reboot the pi to get it working.

MQTT broker has nothing to do with Domoticz, but yes, also this can be setup via "docker compose". And I also recommend this.
Plugins (I assume you are talking about python plugins) should be working as well. You might need to install some libaries if you needed to do so before.

Okey, it's 12 years old... it's old! If you have a iPhone/Android don't expect to get updates after 5 years

If you want a Domoticz test environment, you can use docker compose.... setup a new instance

I have the same problem on my pi zero which is only 3 years old. I have 5 of them as remote domoticz server, so it would help a lot if this could be fixed. The problem started after updating to 2024.2

[gizmocuz]

This is not going to get 'fixed'. Just stop using the binaries and compile yourself.

And I an not going to talk about:

a) did not make a backup
b) did not read the release notes

Why 5 remote domoticz servers? What are you doing with those that need 'Domoticz' ?
Best to have 1 good domoticz system (raspberry pi 4/5 or ODroid C2 or better) and work with that, specially speed wise!
