I'm trying to fix with your guide, but to complicate for me.
AS I'm a newbee and so I don't understand what I'm doing, so it's difficult.

I've a backup of my Sd Card.
If I use this backup and retry to upgrade my system,
do you have a guide with all steps to do?

When try to update Iobroker.Admin, tells me that Node.JS 10 is not goof and I've to upgrade to V16, when made, I try to upgrade system, and another adapter has to be upgraded but the version of Node.JS V16 was not good for it and should be not more than V14...

So if you've a guide, it should be more easy for a stupid guy like me

[Tiger]

@homoran I completely agree, that's why I'm trying to explain in English

[Homoran]

@tiger dou you have a backup of your iobroker installation?
done by backitup or iobroker backup?

then i would recommend to install all brandnew, best on a new SD card, so you'll still have the old one, and restore your backup to the new installation.
All will be built anew

@homoran
Yes I've two backup in fact

• 1 made thanks to win32 image disc, so I've my image of yestarday
  -1 made thanks to iobroker backup

My idea was to copy the imagedisc of yestarday and retry to upgrade thanks to a guide, and with the correct order of different upgrade

[crunchip]

@homoran and install vis before backup if vis is used

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

win32 image disc,

this contains all the broken stuff.
not recommended!

what adapters did you install?
iobroker update -i

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

First action:

iobroker stop
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot

Please post the output of

sudo apt update

@homoran
to be honest yestarday I tried to upgrade and was in same situation as now, so I took the imagedisc and works as before.

Adapters installed and needed was :

• Siemens S7 adapter
• Zigbee
• Rfxcom
• History

iobroker update -i gives error too

@tiger

Will you try to setup nodejs the proper way or trying around with your backups (which are most propably based on a wrong installation)

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

History

in the regular iobroker backup the history won't be included.
You have to save the directory /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/history by yourself

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
actually I'm trying your command, it's in progress.
It should be better to re install everything... to have a proper installation up to date...

But as you have notice, installation part is not my favorite things, I'm afroid to lost all my domotics and all i've already done with Alexa, Node red etc...

Moreover, as I used the commande : iobroker backup, and I don't see the backup in /opt/iobroker... not sure I've the backup...

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

So what is the output to

sudo apt update

then?

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
command : sudo apt full-upgrade took time
progress is 13% since some minutes

Unpacking wolfram-engine (12.2.0+2021041101) over (12.0.1+2019062401) ...

@tiger

Then you never did update your system before.
And you are running the Desktop-Variant. Both is a no-go.

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
Once everything was working.. i Didn't made any update...
Now It's because I would like to add some functionnality as Smappee on my Vis...
I need it.
or I will continue like that with old version and will continue to work as before

Whatever, thanks to all for your help.

progress is 48%

don't even think about this.
the day will come and you have to update an adapter you need.

due to the 'never change a running system' approach, now you are in trouble.
And then you'll be in big trouble for sure.

Please keep your system up to date always. for security and convenience
