I have just installed the latest SD image. when i ran sudo emonSDexpand the emonpi reboot and on the screen I got

Looks good to me, try running $ df -h after a reboot to check it’s expanded

@jrdrummond

I would like to update the new software for 30Oct18. My version was an emonpi with emonSD-26Oct17.

Can I rebuild the SD card of the 30Oct18, start the system, and then do a emoncms-upload to get my data/dashboard, etc?

I would recommend using the backup module to export your data then re-importing once you have booted the new image, see:

Import / Backup / Restore / Update — OpenEnergyMonitor 0.0.1 documentation

I upgraded my emoncms to version 9.9.4 successfully with emonSD-26Oct17 image on my emonPi. I’m now wondering if it is possible to migrate to the emonSD-30Oct18 image directly from my computer through my wifi network, or if it is necessary to open the case of my emonPi to flash the SDcard with Etcher.

I would recommend downloading and flashing a fresh version of the latest image with Etcher then importing your data. Using the backup module. See above.
