Upgrading from an ancient version of Home Assistant (images2.imgbox.com)

Trying to upgrade from a 2021 release to the latest one, absolutely no idea whether this will work or not...

Originally I abandoned this install because the API I used to integrate a DIY addressable LED strip (controlled by a media player entity, changed colour to match the cover art) was removed and replaced with something else, and I didn't have time to redevelop it.

For a while its been possible to do something pretty similar with WLED - at that point I was just putting off the upgrades to not break anything 😅

At this point it's probably a better idea to re-install but let's see how this goes!

That's going to be a LOT of reading breaking changes.

Do a backup first, if the update does go south the backup might apply to a new install

On the plus side, if the update works there is a good automated backup system now, so it won't be an issue again, I suppose.

That's what I just did with pihole v6 lol.

Updated, internet went down and WebUI bork. Uninstalled, wiped config, reinstalled, restored backup.

Same for me but I managed to rescue the existing installation, but unfortunately my reverse proxy for the web interface doesn't work anymore.

I was expecting something like version 0.112 but this is pretty close.

Uh, good luck! It's giving me cold sweats just looking at that version disparity!

If it were me I'd be looking at doing some intermediate upgrades to help it along, if that's even possible. But hey, it might work, please report back!
