[QUESTION] How to Update to 3.0 with baremetal now? about dashy HOT 3 CLOSED

Great to see it's working for you!
As you can see, you are using a little bit to new version of node, I think in the docs it's even written that dashy needs the latest LTS version which is currently 20.x.x, but as you can see it even works with newer version, just with that note.

I think --ignore-engines was introduced to fix some dependency issue when upgrading some of them to more up-to date versions, but not entirely sure on that.

from dashy.

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
        public/conf.yml
        yarn.lock
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.
Aborting

This suggests that changes to the file conf.yml and yarn.lock are not made because they are different on your system than on the git repo.

But yarn.lock needs to be changes as there were changes in dependencies and upgrading them.

Please make a copy of conf.yml (and possibly other assets like images that you saved inside dashy) and remove the whole dashy folder and clone the repo again.
That is probably the easiest.
Otherwise save a copy of conf.yml and assets and run 'git reset --hard'

oh sry maybe I had to be more clear, I meant the warnings, not the errors :) Last ones are absolutly clear.

this part here:

root@dashy:/opt/dashy# npm install --ignore-engines
npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: '[email protected]',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '>=16.0.0 <21.6.2' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v21.7.1', npm: '10.5.0' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }
npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: '@achrinza/[email protected]',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '8 || 10 || 12 || 14 || 16 || 17' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v21.7.1', npm: '10.5.0' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }

oh... with the git reset --hard did the trick, thank you!

EDIT: OFC I know that I use the ignore-engines part in my npm install command, but this was due to other issue I hade here before. But isn't it possible to update those requriements to latest versions as well or is this a more complicated stuff that needs to much time to do it for each update on node?

It is running with those versions, already tested right now :)
