Updates

Updates

From the web portal (recommended)

If the Pi was installed from a git clone, open Updates in the Web Portal → Check Updates → Update Now.

That runs git pull, refreshes Python dependencies, re-syncs assets, and restarts the service. Settings and API keys are preserved.

On phones, confirm with the in-page Install & Restart row (native browser confirm() dialogs are unreliable on mobile).

Notes

• A normal git checkout under ~/FlightScnr_Pi (or wherever you cloned) is required for portal updates to work.
• Portal preferences live under /var/lib/flightscnr/ and are not wiped by updates.
• Facing direction, ATC prefs, favorites, and other on-device settings in round_touch_settings.json also survive updates.
• Before a major change you can System → Download settings for a backup (includes API keys — keep private).
