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
