Hi All,
Is it possible to edit a v. 2.0.16 config to enable the migration to v2.2.1?
I want to move and update the hyperion installation to a new LXC in proxmox but the migration is only possible with backups coming from v2.0.17 and newer.
I haven't seen something in the breaking changes on github.
Brave AI mentions this workaround:
Based on the available context, the recommended workaround for transferring configurations between incompatible versions is:
- Database File Replacement: If you have access to the old system running 2.0.16, stop Hyperion on both machines, locate the configuration database file (typically named hyperion.db on Windows/Linux), and copy it from the old system to the new system running 2.2.1.
- Export/Import via Intermediate Version: Alternatively, install version 2.1.1 on the old system, export the configuration from there, and then import it into the new system. Note that even this method may not preserve all settings perfectly, as users have reported issues with LED device stability (such as flickering WLED strips) after migration.
- Manual Reconfiguration: For complex setups involving multiple LED devices (e.g., WLED), manual reconfiguration may be necessary to ensure stability, as known issues with grabbers and LED devices in newer versions can cause devices to fail to initialize correctly after a migration.
I have attached the config backup of both instances.
I use PiCap and WLED devices.
Or is it recommended to re-config from scratch?
I'd be glad if, someone could point me to the right post/article. Don't need a step-by-step guide. I don't want to waste anybodies time!!
Thank you
