I just rebooted the node and everything is up and running on v2.0.5. I'll stay here since my node has been running well and I don't want to fix whats not yet broken on the node until these update bugs are fixed. I don't want to have to go through reflashing a good memory card.

That is my thoughts as well. I am mining with 2 other miners using the node as well, all 3 using diff wallets and no problems. So no reason to chance updating it.

My choice was to download the update directly at https://github.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/releases and then simply re-flash my 3 node machines back-to-back on new MicroSD's. It's pretty much risk free and it only took about 45 seconds on each machine to reconfigure with the minimal settings. The upside to this is that I can also keep the large update file on-hand for any future needs if necessary. If this version doesn't work out I still have the old v2.0.5 MicroSD's as well as the backups for each machine. So far so good on v2.0.6.

Cheers!

Hey PennyBit,
I had made an old note that loading a newly flashed micro SD card would format the SSD card when it loaded for the first time. Has this behavior changed with v2.0.6? Does it now check first if you already have data on the SSD before trying to format it?
When you started v2.0.6 with the newly flashed micro SD card did it format your SSD card as well or do you still have all your Bitcoin Data intact?
I want to do it the way you did, since I have a new Micro SD card I want to use, as long as it doesn’t wipe all my node data. And if I take out the nvme SSD card before first startup will it try to create a data directory on the system disk instead?

Thanks for your input guys. It looks like I was worried about nothing. I searched why I had made that note and found it was a very old issue with a much earlier version but was fixed in 2021. I found the below note in updated post #3 on page one of this thread.

Release 7/31/21
-Updated Apollo UI to latest 0.3.1
-Image no longer wipes SSD if it detects it has already been formatted
-Added additional swap memory to prepare for Lightning network/block explorer apps
-System level fixes/tweaks for stability

That's a hoot. Reminds me of when I was clearing out some of my old stuff from the house I grew up in after my dad passed. I found a box of old things that contained an old notebook I had once used as a sudo diary of sorts. Inside I found a page that stated, "Beware, don't date that crazy Sharon again!!!" The funny thing is, I can't even remember who she was - lol.

Cheers!
