Just wondering how often others run apt-get upgrade on their production RPi based EmonCMS machines.
Not often enough!
I did do it the other day and it was a large update which took a while.
If you do, check all the services have come back properly.
A dist-upgrade is more dangerous as it pulls in more changes and that has upset things in the past.
Hello @borpin, Is an apt-get upgrade performed automatically when the EmonPi software is updated? or would I have to do that separately?
Hope all is well,
Neil
The apt-get update is done but not the upgrade.
Yes, I made the mistake of doing the dist-upgrade once before, so I was concerned about doing just the upgrade. I did make a ādiskā image before running just the upgrade.
If itās running fine and not internet exposed. Not.
When there are improvements, specific updates and ātimeā available. I run some updates/upgrades/ā¦
Donāt think an update is just click and goā¦ There will be a time it goes wrong en then it startsā¦ (timeā¦)
Exactly. Imagine the upkeep involved if apt upgrade was done everytime the update buttonās pressed in emoncms.
I wonder if thereās a subscription or news service for vulnerabilities worthy of upgrading for.
Or else weāre relying on posts to the forum about userās Pis getting hacked
