Upgrading old embassyOS version

hello community, I currently have OS version 0.2.17 and was wondering if it was possible or how could I upgrade to latest version. This embassy was built from source on a raspberry 4 and I do not have physical access to the hardware; the menu dashboard doesn’t give me options to upgrade a new version either.

Hi chacks,

Unfortunately upgrading from v0.2.x to v0.3.x requires physical access to the hardware because you will need to insert an SD card with v0.3.2.1 on it and boot from that.

Please follow this guide:

do you have an updated link? would like to update from .2.17 myself

Hey Start9addict! Welcome to our community.

The link has been updated. If you don’t have any sats staked for recovery, for instance, from an LN node or crucial data, the best approach would be to start fresh with StartOS v0.3.5.1, following the guide above.

I backed up my 2.17 instance because I have some sats on RTL there. Ran into a Bitcoin Core sync issue which I think is due to the specs of my embassy (on 4gb ram).

How do I access my sats on RTL on the new firmware? Core still isnt synced 100% is that the issue here?

First of all, RTL is just an interface for LND or CLN (Lightning Network implementations); it doesn’t hold any funds itself. Most likely, you’ll need to restore your LND or CLN node from a backup to recover your funds.

Secondly, make sure your Bitcoin node is fully synced before attempting the recovery process.
