Upgrading from 6.11.5 to 7.0.0 - but running old version of community applications that cannot be updated first what should I do?

Featured Replies

Hi

 

I am keen to upgrade from 6.11.5 to 7.0.0 with the hope that it resolves a issue I was having with 6.12.X saying "ERROR* Unexpected DP dual mode adaptor ID 01 (or 03)".

 

In short, reading other forum the error I was experiencing seemed to be Linux Kernal issue and support for the CPU/iGPU, so did not upgrade to 6.12.X.

I want to try 7.0.0 to see if this fixes the issues I was having, however I am currently stuck on an old version of communities applications and when I run the update assistant this flags as an issue saying

Issue Found: community.applications.plg (community.applications) is not up to date. It is recommended to update all your plugins.

 

But becuase I am on 6.11.5, I cannot do this as the latest version is not compatable.

 

What should I do? Not upgrade, roceed with the update or remove the existing plugin? If I remove it, how do I get it back?p

 

Thanks!

You may need to edit uraids dns settings and set a public DNS. usual plugin and docker update issues are due to DNS issues...

you should be running the lattest verion of unriad and stay up to date. you may need to delete / remove a plugin. you appear to be having a driver related issues and a network related issues. I have to assume as we would need you to post a diag file...and current unraid version you are running...

 

Given the update path and other issues or a refusal too, I would first think the issue is network related...

 

ALWAYS update your plugins form bug fixes to other the CA Plugin will still work on the older version of Unraid. Please update your Unraid to the latest stable version.

 

Make a flash backup (WebUI > Main > Flash > Backup) this zip is a recovery for your current system....

you may need to pull the flash disk and download the lattest unraid stable 6 manual

https://unraid.net/blog/releases

 

downloads: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/download_list/

I recommend stable v6.12.14 first

 

and copy over the files in that zip to the flash drive. You want to leave your config folder alone as that has all of your current data, unraids disk settings and docker vm network configurations.

This will bring you to the lattest unraid verison manualy.

then upgrade from 6 stable to unraid 7

Thanks - is the recomendation then a manual update from 6.11.5 to 6.12.14?

 

Do I still need to remove the community apps before as this appears to be the only plugin that is an issue?

IF the 6.12.14 update is there, then I recommend using unraids flash upgrade mechanism. Ignore the CA plugin for the time being as if there a problem, unraid will error them out at boot and can be uninstalled latter in the webui...

As its Hard to say. The old way recommend was to make a new USB as this added read/write wear out on the flash drive.

The manual method allows that version to run and Unraid even with a flash back to restore to latest say to copy the config folder form backup on a fresh download.

But I recommend upgrading off v6.12.14 to v7.

 

as Unraid run in ram replacing the bzroot images is what updates the OS and its version. the root of the drive just needs to replace the root of your current unraid Flash.

I am also on the same boat . What precaution should one take before doing this ? Also i have had some head ache when i updated nextcloud last time.  So dont want to spoil the current setup.

CA when running on 6.11 or earlier will not update to the latest versions since the later versions are incompatible with that OS version.  Update the OS first and then update CA
