Create a backup image from the working SD card. Write that backup image to a spare SD card and verify it works. Then try to do ‘apt update’ and see if anything breaks. If it breaks you got a spare SD card ready to go :)
Comment on Any way to update the software in Raspian without updating the OS?
Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 6 months agoNothing on there says it needs a legacy version, but I may be overlooking something.
It took several attempts (with failures) to get it installed on the latest Raspian version, then after some digging I saw that the requirements said to use “An SD Card with the 64-bit version of RaspiOS installed (please use Bullseye)”.
With Bullseye installed, BirdNetPi works just fine, but it is old and comes with old software.

Ah makes sense. Still there should be no issue with doing stuff the normal way.
apt updatedoesn’t update your OS to a whole new version.The command for an OS update is some5hing like “do-release-upgrade” (but I forgot the exact name since I havent used debian for years)

Only on Ubuntu based distros AFAIK but
sudo do-release-upgradeis the correct command
