 Honestly it’s a process, but the reward is highly satisfying once all the bugs are ironed out.

 Agreed. 
After this update, things should go much smoother. Its just this one that requires s a deep clean. 

Future #Umbrel OS 1.x updates should all be Over-The-Air.

 Agreed, the firmware on umbrel wasn’t always the smoothest in my experience but what are trying to touch up on?

 They completely overhauled the system. The OS is now an actual OS rather than an app sitting on top of Linux.
So you have to back up everything, wipe Linux, replace it with a full UmbrelOS install, then put back all the files.

 Ah fuck, yea I can see how that would mess up with things, cuz I remember too that even the individual apps too had their own scripts written in Linux that would sometimes not work after the update

 Yeah, the process is scary. If the external hard drive used for backup during migration fails for any reason, the node is gone, and you would have to start building channels from scratch. lol

Wish me luck! half way through.
