I just followed the instructions posted for upgrading.
[https://docs.start9.com/start-os/0.4.0.x/update-040.html](https://docs.start9.com/start-os/0.4.0.x/update-040.html)
The only issue I encountered what restoring my nextcloud. The connection would drop out after 5-10 files synced. I ultimately uploaded my computer copy of everything in batches and it has been running without an issue once a full copy is at both locations (server and desktop). Took about 2hrs to fully complete the guide on a 250mb/s connection and services updates.

These instructions are over my head, if I ordered a new server with 4.0.1 it might be easier

installed 4.0 now knots daemon keeps crashing.. sync starts then has to wait as RPC keeps dumping
upgrading until other have done it.. is ALWAYS a bad move imho
rebuilt the container.. still no joy .. daemon keeps dumping.. going for ANOTHER de-install knots fully and shutdown and hard boot.. then another re-install.
see ya in a month lol
logs OS and kernel of truth.. cant see any red letter day exceptions. considering dropping back to the unsupported yet ‘working’ deprecated ver.
hang on ! .. could be a slightly loose rj45 plug to my starlink router from my beautiful bar of soap start9 reliable puppy 🙂
might benefit anyone who has hardware/trust-less ethernet plug issues but doesnt know it yet…thus far on 2.% of chain sync.. with no daemonRPC dumps.. sooooooo far soooo goodo.
now on 67%.. no RPC issues.. that was it a very slightly loose non-clip rj45 to router cable.. lol
