upgrading to le10 on vm

Greetings,

I'm running LE9.x inside kvm, from what I understand, it is highly recommended to install LE10 rather than upgrade.

however, I'd rather no start handling images and loop devs.

so I thought of entering my LE via ssh, stop kodi, rm .kodi, place the new image in the update folder and reboot the setup

will that work?

Yes. This will avoid any Python 2 to 3 addon trouble.

By creating a backup via LibreELEC-Settings addon before you can restore your current state on unexpected errors.

I wouldn't "rm .kodi" as that prevents you from easily copying back all the bits that don't cause issues. Simple "mv .kodi .kodi-old" and then reboot to update is fine. You can keep DB files, sources.xml, thumbnail caches and add-on settings without problems.
