✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

HomeBox

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

update

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Running the update script fails because it says there is no HomeBox installation, which there is as it is running. This appears to be due to the change last week in the update script which checks if the /opt/homebox exists and is a directory where as previously it was a file.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Run update script on 0.19.0 installation.

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

No HomeBox Installation Found!

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Change was in this commit: ab6f2dd24f

if [[ ! -f /opt/homebox ]]; then

to

if [[ ! -d /opt/homebox ]]; then

Correct, it should check for existing service file anyway. Fixed in #6677 . Try after the merge

@tremor021 got further after the fix merge (did a restore to a couple o days ago to ensure it was unaltered from previous attempts):

⠋ Stopping HomeBoxWarning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of homebox.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
  ✔️   HomeBox Stopped
⠋ Fetching GitHub release: homebox (0.20.2)mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/opt/homebox’: File exists
⠏ Fetching GitHub release: homebox (0.20.2)
[ERROR] in line 976: exit code 0: while executing command mkdir -p "$target"

After this, I tried renaming /opt/homebox manually renaming to /opt/homebox_bak and re-running:
