Next problem I have with new machine. (Dashboards)

Dashboard
1

Ok, there is a way I can see, but it will be painful.

I had have a machine and it was running.... Stretch and an early version of NR.
I wanted to install a new bit of code, but time bit me in the bottom and I couldn't.

So I rebuilt the machine, ground up.
and now I have NR 4.0.9 and Dashboard 2.x installed.

That ain't gonna work with the old flow/s and the OLD dashboard nodes.

Options?

Ok, I could install the older dashboard, import the flows then migrate the nodes to the newer ones.

Is there an Easier way?

I don't believe so. Install D1 since it runs in parallel anyway. Then take your time to migrate to something newer - maybe even avoid future similar issues by migrating to UIBUILDER :rofl:

Either way, you can take your time. I doubt D1 will disappear any time soon.

Thanks.

It is just I have been through the fun of having to reflash the SD card from Stretch to Bookworm.
(Couldn't upgrade.) Tried and it failed.

So I got a BRAND NEW version of Bookworm and then installed the latest NR.

And so while I was at it, decided to install the new DB.

I may - as you said - install the old one too and go through migrating it to the newer one node by node.

(on a side trip, look at my up/down load speed thread and the new flow I posted there.)
I need some help with the layout.
(Sorry)

Honestly, I prefer to reinstall from scratch when I can. It tends to end up with a much cleaner installation and fewer issues. I see this as an advantage of using small, cheap(ish) devices, harder to do on a full server unless you have a spare.

Can't help there. I don't use D2.

Oops. Yeah, you use docker uibuilder. I forgot.

(Thanks @jbudd )

I think @TotallyInformation uses UIBuilder rather than dashboard 2 doesn't he? :rofl:
