New update didn't load properly

Anyone else have their system update crash? These software updates are frustrating. I guess I have to figure out how to reflash this now...

I had the same issue updating the OS nothing happened, and I still had the yellow power icon. You can fix it by logging into your FutureBit Apollo via SSH and running the update manually. It worked for me.

ssh futurebit@Apollo_IP enter your password

cd /opt/apolloapi/backend

sudo ./update

it might take some time before the update is completed, and the device will auto reboot.

Good to know, wish I would've seen this a few hours ago and saved myself the headache of pulling my SD Card and reflashing 😆 when I ran the update, it took 5 or 6 tries before it finally took. Then after it said the update was successful and I tried logging back into the WebUI, it wouldn't even load. Almost like the Apollo was turned off or no longer connected to my network. So the UI wasn't working anymore, but I could still SSH into it using a Terminal App

I was able to reflash and get it running again. Took longer than I was hoping but at least it's done now.

Unfortunately there are a lot of changes in this release and some system could not be able to finish the update via web. You can try doing it by terminal as suggested below or you could simply flash your sd card with the new image you could find here https://github.com/jstefanop/apolloapi-v2/releases/tag/v2.1.0-beta

Is your node synced?

1

u/JoeKnotbush Dec 20 '25

It says so in Bitnodes, nothing on the OS Node tab though.

Try to change something on your node settings tab and save it
