as a command line user I wrote a shell script to download nightlies for updates/downgrades script supports the newer directory structure on the nightly download server and LE 11 nightlies. What is does - reads out /etc/os-release to get the nightly variant from your currently running LE box - checks the download server for last (for updates) and previous (for downgrades) nightlies where "updates" means: to the newest on the download server (in one step ! I don't know if that always work out) where "downgrades" means: one nightly down related to the currently running - checks need disk space (min. ~549 MB) what the update installer needs and only when okay it does the next 2 steps: - downloads the choosen nightly Image from the download server and places it under ~/.update - offers to reboot What it doesn't do - does (currently) NOT support boxes which are NOT Generic, Generic-legacy, RPi2, RPi4 - does NOT support switching between Generic and Generic-legacy nightlies Requirements - always run the lastest script version. - you need at least a nightly on your LE box what is also currently available on the download server (URL: please see script line 44: "SERVER"), otherwise the script aborts ! Background: if the script can't find your running nightly on the download server it can't decide what is the update/downgrade related to your box. HowTo 1. download via webbrowser from here: 2. https://gist.github.com/eldersixpack13 - don't be confuse: eldersixpack13 and JoeAverage are the same (idiot)" 3. unzip the downloaded file 4. place the get_nightly.sh on your LE box somewhere, but NOT in ~/.update or /tmp 5. to make the script executable run on linux (only once) : chmod u+x get_nightly.sh starting the script - ssh into the LE box - move to the folder where the script is stored - run the script via command: ./get_nightly.sh (for inexperienced linux users: it reads "./..."; (point slash ...) Be aware: - native tested is only Generic here (Generic-legacy and RPi* with dummy files only !) - script might contain "plain ol' men's thinkO's" and therefore Bugs - NO WARRANTY by me and use at you own risk. comments, bug reports, etc. are welcome. Coding-Hints - shell check analyse tool reports some minor (?) problems, I'm aware of... - piping the script through the tool "shfmt" and compare the original with the tool "meld" shows nearly the same, apart from the semicolon I use. - IIRC, I've learned it that way on Unix System V 30 years ago or might mix it with C programming. Anyway, to me it looks saner ending command lines with ";" - To remove the semicolons, you might use the following command line "cat | shfmt > " Changelog Version 0.10 - today (24.07.2020) adjusted the server URL at line 44 - initial release for the new (but tentatively) download server structure
