There is no wrong syntax i think.

Can you try it manually?

RELEASE=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases/latest | grep "tag_name" | awk '{print substr($2, 2, length($2)-3) }')
systemctl stop zwave-js-ui
rm -rf /opt/zwave-js-ui/*
cd /opt/zwave-js-ui
wget -q https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases/download/${RELEASE}/zwave-js-ui-${RELEASE}-linux.zip
unzip -q zwave-js-ui-${RELEASE}-linux.zip
systemctl start zwave-js-ui
rm -rf /opt/zwave-js-ui/zwave-js-ui-${RELEASE}-linux.zip
rm -rf /opt/zwave-js-ui/store

@MickLesk
These lines code process an update without error in console.
I see this is updated in UI, but no devices appeare. probably something else wrong, maybe from my side

I tried also 2 things now :

Create new LXC with the current script : same error at line 83
Update via the previous Tteck script : update OK, no problem of device

Restore helps a lot in this case :)

About my remarks "I see this is updated in UI, but no devices appear"
Could it be linked to rm -rf /opt/zwave-js-ui/store ?
It seems there are all the settings of my nodes and server here

The update working,

But the update erase all the configuration (previous message). UI is like first configuration.

And for example /opt/zwave-js-ui/store/nodes.json is now empty

Regarding previous message.

On Tteck script, it remove : rm -rf zwave-js-ui-${RELEASE}-linux.zip zwave-js-ui-linux store
The folder store is coming from the extraction of the zip file.

I don't know the reason, but on the current script this is like that :

rm -rf /opt/zwave-js-ui/zwave-js-ui-${RELEASE}-linux.zip
rm -rf /opt/zwave-js-ui/store

This is clearly not the same store which is deleted, and finally all the config is deleted after update

ah thats a breaking change. You have the old files now. Its migrated to .env file with new store paths.

You can do following:

Do an Backup of your installation:

cp /opt/zwave-js-ui /opt/zwave-js-ui_bak

Remove Old Folder & Create new folder

rm -rf /opt/zwave-js-ui
mkdir -p /opt/zwave-js-ui
mkdir -p /opt/zwave_store

Move your old storage files to this path

cp /opt/zwave-js-ui/store/*  /opt/zwave_store

Enter Main Folder:

cd /opt/zwave-js-ui

Update Package:

RELEASE=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases/latest | grep "tag_name" | awk '{print substr($2, 2, length($2)-3) }')
wget -q https://github.com/zwave-js/zwave-js-ui/releases/download/${RELEASE}/zwave-js-ui-${RELEASE}-linux.zip
unzip -q zwave-js-ui-${RELEASE}-linux.zip

Create .env File:

cat <<EOF >/opt/.env
ZWAVEJS_EXTERNAL_CONFIG=/opt/zwave_store/.config-db
STORE_DIR=/opt/zwave_store
EOF

Update Service

nano /etc/systemd/system/zwave-js-ui.service

Check [Service] and add or change missing:

User=root
WorkingDirectory=/opt/zwave-js-ui
ExecStart=/opt/zwave-js-ui/zwave-js-ui-linux
EnvironmentFile=/opt/.env

Check if this works. Then i write an documentation about this

Thanks for your help, it seems to be OK now.

Just some additionnal information, if you made a documentation :
Point 1, it seems I need arg -r

cp -r /opt/zwave-js-ui /opt/zwave-js-ui_bak

Point 3, I think we need to start from bak directory :

cp -r /opt/zwave-js-ui_bak/store/*  /opt/zwave_store

Just to be sure, I made after an update with the script, and I have no error, and all my config
