upgrade from 5.6.xxx to 6

Are there any guides for upgrade?

I believe you can SSH and issue command :

omv-release-upgrade

to upgrade.

I have a the OS on USB stick.

Any help or guide to upgrade -- I want to keep my mounts working after upgrade.

Hey there, I am in the process of upgrade from OMV 5.6.XXX to 6 and I have the following plugins

openmediavault-flashmemory

openmediavault-omvextrasorg

openmediavault-resetperms

From my observations openmediavault-flashmemory & openmediavault-omvextrasorg are available in OMV6. However, openmediavault-resetperms is not available in OMV6.

Should I disable openmediavault-resetperms before upgrade. Please advice.

Thank you.....

Here are the steps I gathered from this forum. Are these steps correct?

I am assuming my mounts will not change. Can somebody confirm.

STEPS:

1. I boot from USB - made a clone of USB

2. Took a detail screenshot of all the menu's including Rsync

3. Check if installed plugin is available in OMV6

openmediavault-flashmemory

openmediavault-omvextrasorg

openmediavault-resetperms

4. Make sure your current install is correct all configs can be deployed by running:

sudo omv-salt stage run deploy

Get the current install up to date:

sudo omv-upgrade

Do the release upgrade by running:

 sudo omv-release-upgrade

If you see an error message from patch which says a patch has alredy been

applied, ignore it. (this is the only error to be ignored)

5. Wait for the last script to finish and reboot.

6. Refresh/clear browser cache (Crtl-Shift R on most browsers)

7. Check if all services and docker containers are running as you expect. (I have none)

8. If you see Linux image Updates you can not install on the UI, go to the cli and run

omv-upgrade

once more.

Will I loose my mounts and share after upgrade?

Based on feedback here is my steps

STEPS:

1. I boot from USB - made a clone of USB

2. Took a detail screenshot of all the menu's including Rsync - Take shares BACKUP

3. Check if installed plugin is available in OMV6

openmediavault-flashmemory

openmediavault-omvextrasorg

openmediavault-resetperms

4. Get the current install up to date:

sudo omv-upgrade

Do the release upgrade by running:

 sudo omv-release-upgrade

If you see an error message from patch which says a patch has alredy been

applied, ignore it. (this is the only error to be ignored)

5. Wait for the last script to finish and reboot.

6. Refresh/clear browser cache (Crtl-Shift R on most browsers)

7. Check if all services and docker containers are running as you expect. (I have none)

8. If you see Linux image Updates you can not install on the UI, go to the cli and run

omv-upgrade

once more.

Seems to have gone well.... all mounts and shares etc seem to be holding....

However, I am not seeing the plugins....How do I install the following plugins

openmediavault-flashmemory

openmediavault-omvextrasorg

openmediavault-resetperms

No luck after refresh - screenshot

Thanks macom.

Now I see the plugins.....However, I see the following errors - Should I be concerned?

Done.

For grup-pc I executed

dpkg --configure -a

And selected my USB boot drive

yes it worked!

Thanks to ryecoaaron and macom I am finalizing this "cheat sheet" to upgrade from OMV 5.6.XXX to 6:

STEPS:

1. If you boot from USB - make a clone of USB
2. Take a detailed screenshot of all the menu's including Rsync - In my case all the "previous" info was retained for Rsync and others
3. Though this upgrade will maintain your mounts and shares it is best practice to take physical backup of your shares
4. Check if installed plugin is available in OMV6 - If OMV6 does not have your plugin you should remove/disable them before proceeding further
5. Get the current install up to date: sudo omv-upgrade
6. Do the release upgrade by running:  sudo omv-release-upgrade ... If you see an error message from patch which says a patch has already been applied, ignore it. (this is the only error to be ignored)
7. Wait for the last script to finish and reboot.
8. Refresh/clear browser cache (Crtl-Shift R on most browsers);
9. If you do not see your plugins follow and execute the bash script https://github.com/OpenMediaVa…lob/master/fix5to6upgrade - If you use USB as boot drive execute dpkg --configure -a and select your USB boot drive BEFORE you run the bash script
10. Check if all services and docker containers are running as you expect. (I have none)
11. If you see Linux image Updates you can not install on the UI, go to the cli and run omv-upgrade once more.

Feel free to correct any changes above

Thanks everyone
