Live update of factory medkit on sdcard?

Software Turris OS 4.x

Hi guys,
could you prepare a guide how to update the @factory snapshot to latest medkit on MOX sd card?
It should be fairly easy and possible, correct?

It was answered long long time ago by @miska in “Turris OS 4.0 (Here be dragons) - Community office - Turris forum”

Backing up your current setup on Omnia

To backup your current setup and your working configuration you would need a flash drive, preferably with ext4. Insert it into USB port and mount it. For example:

mkdir /mnt/backup; mount /dev/sdg1 /mnt/backup

Now you can use schnapps to backup your current system:

$ schnapps create pre-4.0 backup
Snapshot number 166 created
$ schnapps export 166 /mnt/backup

This way you just created a medkit on your flash drive with your current setup. Any time you want to return to this working configuration just plug the flash drive into your router and perform 4 LEDs factory reset.

Later is was repeated in “[solved] Medkit built from my Turris Omnia? - SW help - Turris forum” by @JardaB in slightly modified form :wink:

Does work in MOX as Well :wink:

In Turris OS 4.0+ it should be as easy enough to download appropriate medkit and running schnapps import -f medkit.tar.gz. Note that this imports content of medkit as factory version without doing much of the checking.

Just note that official supported approach is using fourth rescue mode.
