Question: Does RPi OS upgrade break node-red flows?
|
I last used my Node-Red Raspberry Pi in 2020 at a previous home.
I just now dug it out, and it boots ok and works.
But naturally, after 4 full years, Pi-OS is offering updates and upgrades.
Does the OS upgrade break node-red? Or do people have a checklist
or suggestions before I proceed? ?
Thanks,

Hey Neal,
?
You should be good to complete a full upgrade on your Pi.??
?
Backup your flow to another machine before you start your upgrade.? I would also re-run the Node Red installer to make sure you are fully up to date on Node Red.? Then upgrade all your nodes to the latest by the pallet manager.
?
Good luck in your upgrades!

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDefinitely do a backup by exporting all flows on a regular basis. SD cards can fail without notice. And while we are on the subject¡If you rather do a clean install instead of upgrading an old OS version, the WiKi has been updated for the 64 bit Pi OS install. Use a new SD card. Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 units can use a USB to NVME portable housing. ?The NVME can handle a higher read/write lifetime although I will state I personally never had an SD failure using the generic Micro Center branded cards.? ?I upgraded to an Pi 5 and boot from an NVME drive, which can handle higher read/write lifetime and will run faster. Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 can use a NVME to USB case while the new Pi 5 supports PCIe 3.0. The case I use has a heatsinked mount for the NVME drive and ribbon cable to connect to the PCIe connector on the Pi5. It was recommended by another member on this group.? |
