Domoticz

hi,
I have tried several times to update Domoticz beta 2025.2 (build 17005) to build 17030 and the update does not complete - no errors.

Thank you!

Did you try it over webgui? Then you probably have this issue that seems not to be fixed yet.

As a workaround you probably can just reboot your system to force a reboot of the updated Domoticz.
Running sudo ./updatebeta will also fix it.

I have tried and that's the result

So why does this fail? Do you have a script regarding backups?
Is the disk full?
No access rights?
Do you see the file domoticz/backups/domoticz_backup_20260113_091642.tar.gz ?

I don't know why...This has not been a problem until now(2025.2 (build 17005)). There is space on the SD card...80%. domoticz_backup_20260113_091642.tar.gz exist.

So, i succeeded.

cd domoticz
sudo chmod +rx backups
sudo ./updatebeta

I hope it will be helpful to others.

Thank you!
