How to revert from beta to stable on Pi?

[dressie]

Type "sudo wget....." ...works for me!

[Heisenberg]

thnks!

[thorbj]

try

wget http://domoticz.sourceforge.net/domotic ... armv7l.tgz

Thanks, that works better

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me with the above link:

pi@domoticzpi ~/domoticz $ wget http://domoticz.sourceforge.net/domotic ... armv 7l.tgz

Try using

Code: Select all

wget http://domoticz.sourceforge.net/domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz

instead. This works great!

http://domoticz.sourceforge.net/domotic ... armv7l.tgz is only a shortened reference, to the original address, which is domoticz.sourceforge.net/domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz

Updated steps that work as of Jan 2016 ( ArmV6 filename updated to ArmV7 )
Thinkpad please update wiki or the first post if beneficial

First backup your database from the webGUI (Setup > Application settings > Backup database (in left menu)).
Login via SSH
After you login check if you are in /home/pi (or just cd /home/pi/ to be sure)
Then stop domoticz (sudo service domoticz.sh stop)
Remove the domoticz folder (rm -rf domoticz)
Make a new domoticz folder (mkdir domoticz)
Go to that folder (cd domoticz)
Then download the latest stable version using the command below

Code: Select all

wget http://domoticz.sourceforge.net/domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz

Extract it (tar xvfz domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz)
Remove the compressed file (rm domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz)
Reboot (sudo reboot)
Import your database backup (the 'domoticz.db' file).
Reboot again (sudo reboot)

You should now be fully up and running again on the stable version instead of the beta

Hi all,

yesterday i have accendently installed a Beta version of Domoticz.
My system is now full of bugs.

So i want to do a roll back, without data loss.
i have found te following message of Mbliek.

This should give you the latest stable:

Code: Select all

wget http://domoticz.sourceforge.net/domoticz_linux_armv6l.tgz

tar xvfz domoticz_linux_armv6l.tgz

rm domoticz_linux_armv6l.tgz

But the link to Domoticz is not longer vallid.
is the "domoticz_linux_armv7l.tgz" the latest Stable Version??

[HansieNL]

If you run ./updaterelease from Domoticz folder it will auto download and install latest stable version.

Which bugs? We all try our best to make every beta release better and better...

[Westcott]

I have to agree with Eduard, the bete releases are very stable.
Anything unusual is quickly spotted by the myriads of users, and soon fixed.
Please detail any bugs that you see?

Sorry for the late response but my first prio was getting Domoticz back online.

On Sunday i have updated my version 2.4 stable to the latest beta.
On Sunday night was I browsing trough the settings ( only hoving over the options) and the Domoticz system freezes.
After a reset of the complete system (windows host and Virtual box with Linux Ubuntu) Domoticz was up and running again. But Lost all my connection to the Antenna’s (RFXcom 433/ USB Zwave.me and my P1 serial port) after 30 minutes the RFXcom was working again, but no P1 data.
Domoticz was stable with the RFXcom until Monday morning and then again lost the connection to the RFXcom. Later that day I had again a complete freeze of the Domoticz system.

I don’t have logs of the bug above, because I have restored the back up of Sunday to get it working again.
(ps. now updated to the lastest stable release and now online without bugs from last night 0:30)

I know this thread is a bit "old", but....
After beta 3.8367 gave me some "http://"-errors causing me to loose the P1-read outs (electricity and gas) I wanted to go back to stable. After reading the Wiki instructions I tried another method:
- in "Settings -> System" I changed the release channel to "Stable",
- with my favorite terminal client (Terminus) I went to my Domoticz directory (cd domoticz),
- then I ran "sudo ./updaterelease".
Now I'm back on 3.8153 and all is working fine for me. Maybe someone could add it to the Wiki (perhaps with the potentially harmful risks of this practice... If any).

I'm running Debian 8 (Jessie) on an OrangePi 2 btw.
