How to update
- Option 1:
Download the attached pre-configured Raspberry Pi OS Lite image, and flash it onto a SD card. If using the official Raspberry Pi Imager, do not create a custom user, because this may break PiSCSI features. Using a 3rd party imager such as Balena Etcher is recommended. (Reminder: Backup all of your data before doing this!)NOTE: The RPi image generation workflow is unfortunately broken presently, so no release images are made available yet. - Option 2: On an existing or new git based PiSCSI installation, perform the following procedure:
cd ~/piscsi
git pull
git checkout v25.12.01
./easyinstall.sh
Select option 1 in easyinstall.sh to rebuild and install
NOTE: The officially supported OS for this release is Raspbian Bullseye. We have also verified that it works largely well on Raspbian Trixie, but it hasn't been thoroughly tested yet.
