Upgrading Zigbee2Mqtt alpine LXC - doesn't 'update'?

[Ruud-cb]

Current installed version is 2.3.0, I had to update /usr/bin/update from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/raw/main/ct/alpine-zigbee2mqtt.sh
to
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/alpine-zigbee2mqtt.sh

because it seems like the URL has changed.
Then tried to run update, it did go through the menu and did 'things', seen some packages being..downloaded? Installed?

After that I also run apk update && apk upgrade but after a reboot still stuck on version 2.3.0.

What am I missing?

OS: Alpine Linux - Version: 3.21.3

After you do this, you lost all rights to report issues on this github. :) just saying :)

Yeah youre right, this was a bad idea. I delete this post

No, i meant that you're altering the container from the way our script is updating the application. We dont use edge repo unless its for a bugfix or something.

We install packages from stable repos only.

Allright, so for an actual z2m it should be used the default-script and not the alpine-script. I didn't even know that from the description that there are only twice a year updates, I decided for alpine because it uses less resources.

Seemed to be easier than changing the complete repositories and be on edge than a stable release:

1. apk list --installed | grep zigbee2mqtt Look first what version is installed
2. echo "@community-edge https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories Add the edge-community repository with a tag to the repositories-file.
3. apk add zigbee2mqtt@community-edge Install only zigbee2mqtt apk from the edge branch
4. apk list --installed | grep zigbee2mqtt Look again if the new version is installed
5. I reboot the container

Probably the best way to get the actual (maybe instable) version of zigbee2mqtt without waiting 6 month.

Thanks to the answers of this thread:

Thanks, this works. Only remark is that zigbee-herdsman-converters and zigbee-herdsman also need to be updated 'manually' after this.

Just to mention why there is no update:
The last stabile release of Alpine Linux is 3.22 with zigbee2mqtt in version 2.3.0. Only the edge-branch which is the actual development-branch has the actual version 2.6.2.

So every 6 month is a new stabile Alpine-Version with the actual version of zigbee2mqtt to this date.
