Thank you for offering us this great system. Can someone please tell me why when I click on the update button it starts the system update and says it is all completed but then refreshes to show it has not been updated and is asking to update as if I have not even started the update? Using Firefox’s latest version on more than one device but the same result, etc… Maybe because I am running Umbrel on Debian Linux and not on a Raspberry Pi 4?
I followed the instructions but when it came to updating the umbrel OS in Debian this is what I got?
sudo ./scripts/update/update --repo getumbrel/umbrel#v0.4.8
./scripts/update/update: line 44: git: command not found
./scripts/update/update: line 47: git: command not found
mv: cannot stat ‘/tmp/umbrel-update//info.json’: No such file or directory
jq: error: Could not open file /tmp/umbrel-update//info.json.orig: No such file or directory
Update path doesn’t seem to be an Umbrel install.
Maaan, but you didn’t changed to latest version 0.4.17 !
Pay attention to details. That is a generic command, you need to adjust it.
Also the command MUST be run inside umbrel folder.
Thank you for being so vigilant regarding my issues.

I reread the error after running the update command for linux systems and then proceeded to install git-core, which I did not realize my OS did not have installed.
–
so then I accidentially ran this command in the terminal
cd ~/umbrel && sudo ./scripts/update/update --repo getumbrel/umbrel#v0.4.8
Which is the one normally used for raspberry Pi 4’s and it started and completed itself and said that it had updated itself but when I logged into umbrel from another pc it still says:
[Umbrel v0.4.17] is now available to install [Install now]
That command is for both RPi and stand alone OS. You just have to replace 0.4.8 with 0.4.17 and run the commend FROM inside the folder /umbrel. That’s all.
In the troubleshooting manual I specified step by step what to do. Please follow them exactly.
So I ran the linux command to update (cd ~/umbrel && sudo ./scripts/update/update --repo getumbrel/umbrel#v0.4.8) and now in the umbrel settings it says;
Umbrel Version0.4.8-build-dae920c so it worked after all, thank you.
I will reread the instructions you sent earlier to update it to 0.4.17.
I ran the update form inside the settings tab in Umbrel and this time it worked without running the manual command! If I have any similar issues in the future I will run the command you mentioned above.
cd ~/umbrel && sudo ./scripts/update/update --repo getumbrel/umbrel#v0.4.17
But will change the version number at the end of the update command to the latest version available.
