In light of the recent discussion on emonSD logs, earlier discussions on the emonSD update process, the variety of solutions and whether we should support a more generic install/build process this thread is a starting point for thinking about the next step. The next image is also in our development…

We’ve got a real risk here of getting bogged down in a hard to follow discussion, are we trying to tackle too many things at the same time? What is the first item to tackle? What should the user be able to do via the update UI? Location of configuration for firmware type?

Thanks @borpin @pb66 Yes I agree splitting of the admin page could make sense. Seperate update of emoncms and emonhub also. [image] borpin: Including that in the ‘update all’ risk breaking systems that are not std EmonPi installations. Yes I was also thinking about that. The UpdateAll woul…

Makes me think about individual module install and update options… perhaps a future direction

[image] TrystanLea: perhaps a future direction Oh close that can of worms. I think for now, if someone has installed non-core modules manually, then the update will update them on the current branch and leave it at that. You could start to get into branches etc so I think avoid!

Yes I did think that once mentioning it. It doesnt really add any benefit over the automated update and introduces problems that may arise from updating a module but not core.

I’ve added a brief readme to give an overview of how to run the current state of the update scripts in the update_refactor branch: https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonpi/tree/update_refactor/update They run well from both the emoncms interface and manually via command line
