[495.72 --> 498.44] Well, first I took a snapshot, actually, did the snapshot.
[498.64 --> 512.42] And whenever I'm doing something that may introduce a breaking change, because it wasn't clear here, if there was an issue with custom integrations, I thought it's possible they just disabled custom integrations until they have this thing fixed.
[512.60 --> 514.80] And so I thought, this could be a breaking update.
[514.88 --> 515.32] I don't know.
[515.54 --> 517.28] There's not really been any information about that.
[517.28 --> 522.50] So I took a snapshot and then I downloaded that snapshot to my local hard drive, just in case.
[522.96 --> 526.84] Then I head over to the update button, click the update, nothing happens.
[527.38 --> 529.66] Click it again, nothing happens.
[529.96 --> 533.16] And it's not exceptionally good at communicating status.
[533.46 --> 534.92] So I SSH into the server.
[535.08 --> 537.16] Again, I love that it's a server I can just get access to.
[537.20 --> 538.78] And I have things like Bashtop installed.
[539.12 --> 540.70] And I run Bashtop and Htop.
[540.76 --> 541.42] And I get an idea.
[541.54 --> 543.80] It's like, is there anything happening in the background?
[543.80 --> 546.32] And I pretty quickly determine nothing's happening.
[547.12 --> 550.12] So I turn to an integration that I have.
[550.14 --> 555.26] And this is one of the reasons I wanted the full Home Assistant experience and not just Home Assistant core.
[555.80 --> 571.32] Because there's integrations like the upgrade configuration checker that will download the latest version of Home Assistant, do a fake contained install, and then check it against your config YAML and tell you if there's anything that's going to break in the upgrade.
[571.32 --> 572.86] So I thought, I'll run that.
[573.30 --> 574.26] Only it broke.
[574.46 --> 583.28] And I had to go digging for the logs on the file system to discover that there was some issue with, quote, custom integration, quote, but they didn't say which integration it was.
[583.64 --> 586.26] So I didn't really know what was going to happen.
[586.38 --> 593.70] But I decided for the good of the show, I'd pull the trigger, and I did the update, and it still did nothing.
[594.38 --> 595.20] Okay, what's going on?
[595.36 --> 597.30] So the configuration check failed.
[597.60 --> 599.14] The update has failed.
[599.14 --> 601.26] There must be something wrong.
[601.54 --> 605.78] So I reboot the whole machine, figure, let's just get that out of the way.
[606.28 --> 607.48] Home Assistant loads back up.
[607.54 --> 608.62] I verify functionality.
[608.92 --> 609.98] I go into Supervisor.
[610.12 --> 613.36] I hit the update button, and I start to get the circle of progress.
[613.84 --> 616.44] It starts working all of a sudden, even though I hadn't changed anything.
[616.50 --> 617.20] I just did a reboot.
[617.30 --> 621.10] And the machine had only been rebooted about 24 hours ago, too, which I thought was kind of funny about it.
[621.62 --> 622.62] It pulls it down.
[622.96 --> 623.92] It does the update.
[624.02 --> 626.28] And so far, I don't see any issue.
[626.38 --> 627.60] I have now the latest version.
[627.60 --> 629.16] Everything seems to be going just smooth.
[629.76 --> 632.18] And I'm not quite sure why I had the problems with it updating.
[632.28 --> 634.46] I'm not quite sure why my config check had problems.
[635.26 --> 637.30] But everything's tested and working.
[637.84 --> 643.00] The only time I've had issues with the config checker is when there's been an error in my config, actually.
[643.44 --> 643.72] Yeah.
[643.72 --> 647.70] I created an include that was pointing at a missing file or something.
[647.70 --> 652.72] And rather than telling me that, the config checker just sat there and span and span and span.
[653.04 --> 658.92] And it takes a while, too, on the Raspberry Pi because you're downloading it, which I don't have the fastest connection in the RV.
[659.46 --> 660.46] So I wait for that.
[660.46 --> 660.96] Oh, yeah.
[661.04 --> 662.20] It can take a beat.
[662.28 --> 662.86] That is true.
[663.04 --> 666.24] At least I would say set aside two or three minutes.
[666.52 --> 666.64] Yeah.
[666.70 --> 667.14] Oh, yeah.
[667.46 --> 668.02] Or more.
[668.30 --> 669.00] Maybe 15.
[669.40 --> 670.24] But you see the error.
[670.32 --> 671.70] I put it there in the show notes for you.
[671.84 --> 675.26] It just says invalid config for script integration.
[675.26 --> 677.84] And then it's just blank.
[678.38 --> 679.58] And it says not found.
[679.96 --> 681.26] Two quotes that are just empty.
[681.44 --> 681.94] Very helpful.
[682.12 --> 682.28] Yeah.
[682.76 --> 684.02] So I'm going to pull it up.
[684.28 --> 686.78] It says it's on line 21, so I know where to go look.
[687.04 --> 690.96] But I decided to run the update since I had a snapshot and everything went through.
[691.16 --> 694.14] I have the latest version and it's working perfectly fine.
[694.48 --> 702.50] But I do kind of wonder what that custom integration airs about and if it's related to some of the fixes they just did since their fixes are related to custom integration.
[702.50 --> 705.58] So I'll be diving deeper into that into the future.
[705.94 --> 708.44] But have you decided to pull the trigger on the upgrade for you?
[708.84 --> 715.40] Well, I mean, I was I was quite busy the other night and I just saw the notification come through and was like, oh, so I just hit upgrade.
[715.46 --> 716.38] I don't have time to check.
[716.82 --> 719.64] I subscribed through the Nabucasa app.
[719.76 --> 726.00] So technically, my install is Internet facing, even if you have to guess a very long obfuscated URL.
[726.32 --> 727.48] When did you start doing that?
[727.50 --> 728.24] I didn't know that.
[728.36 --> 730.10] Well, I started supporting the project.
[730.10 --> 737.10] That was the reason I actually started paying for it was was really to support development, not necessarily because I wanted the remote features.
[737.18 --> 742.02] But it actually turned out to be pretty handy because, you know, with with COVID, I haven't really left the house that much.
[742.02 --> 745.94] So I haven't had the need to SSH into my house remotely very much.
[746.64 --> 752.14] And I got to where I was going and found out I couldn't connect to my house to pass the time or whatever.
[752.14 --> 768.40] And so I opened up Home Assistant in the phone app, looked at the URL, typed that into on my on my laptop and then used the VS Code plugin with the built in shell to create the SSH keys I needed.
[768.52 --> 769.12] And I was good to go.
[769.56 --> 772.30] That's a great little example of how all that stuff can really come together.
[773.06 --> 773.24] Yeah.
[773.30 --> 774.32] So I got the update loaded.
[774.32 --> 782.86] I haven't actually updated the version on my Home Assistant Blue hardware at the studio, but I'm, you know, more a couple of weeks into using that and I'm still loving that as well.
[783.14 --> 784.36] I'm grateful they're doing the update.
[784.82 --> 785.80] What do you use for snapshots?
[786.04 --> 788.30] I use the built in supervisor tool that does the snapshots.
[788.58 --> 791.06] Have you come across the Google Drive backup plugin?
[791.46 --> 792.50] I don't think I have.
[792.72 --> 792.96] No.
[793.10 --> 794.56] It's not in the main store.
[794.56 --> 798.26] I'm pretty sure it's an external thing, but it is awesome.
[798.58 --> 810.94] So I think in the self-hosted live hack that we did a few months ago, I showed it off there where I basically took a completely fresh install of Home Assistant, applied the snapshot, which was taken by this Google Drive plugin.
[811.32 --> 814.50] So it automatically does stuff like snapshot rotation.
