Is there a projected date for the release of v 1.0 of MSR?
-
@toggledbits I asked because I'm in the minority cohort that can't get MSR to function correctly.
Simply put, I gave up after I couldn't connect to Vera. I've returned to it a couple of times but I must ask why isn't there a Update button? it would make life so much easier with your daily updates.
I spent several weekends setting up a RasPi4 with a HD in preparation for this and had hoped for a learning experience.
Then the frustration (to me) of adding MSR - I'm a gluten for punishment and was expecting a rough ride but it's beaten me.
in it's present version it isn't NOOB friendly - I'm aware that it's in the Alpha stage, so I'm (and others who fall into my cohort) can't offer any other feedback apart from this.
I'm really itching to try it out and I'm sure there are a lot of silent others who find themselves in the same position.
Really appreciate your work and looking forward to the release of V1.0 so I can jump in and see what's on offer. -
Huh. I must have missed something. Can you point me to your posts or PRs about the problems you were having?

No, you haven't missed anything because I never wrote anything about it.

That doesn't seem very constructive. I can't fix what I don't know about. The purpose of this developer preview is to find problems and communicate about them so they can be addressed.

@toggledbits if I go about backing up my MSR files to preserve my entire config (in case of something catastrophic happening to my Synology NAS), which folder(s) will suffice? All of /data? Just /config? I'll probably create a backup job from the NAS to my Google Drive cloud once I know best practices. Thanks!

No one else was having problems so I left it well alone, it's better that way than clogging up the forum with issues that are NOOB related and leave the important stuff to the experts. I'd rather see you continue working on making this a wonderful piece of software than wasting important time and resources on NOOB problems. I can wait.My only suggestion based on what I remember of the first version of MSR was to ask for a Upgrade function to be available from the GUI, it might be already there in the current release, can consideration be given to it. I'd like to see it retrieve the latest update, upload and unzip it, simple addition I hope?
I've just tried to run MSR and failed miserably, it looks like I'll need to start from scratch again.
Is there anyone with an working Image of the lot (RasPi4 OS & MSR) that I can dump on a SD Card?
Maybe this might be a good idea and others can also start their MSR journey.
I'm over constantly downloading and unzipping then twiddling, editing and fine tuning.
edit: Against my better judgement I threw caution to the wind and spent the afternoon on it again, finally nailing it, at least it's running but with the very first version - just need to update but that's tomorrow's problem if I find the time.
Thanks to everyone who offered help, it's appreciated, @toggledbits I'd still put the update button in the GUI as my first improvement.aka Zedrally

No it's not, there is no auto upgrade feature currently.
However I'd also like to see one to make it easier to update MSR.
Maybe we should open a bug tracker ticket for a feature request.
I currently have to use Winscp to copy the new file to my Rpi and then SSH with Putty to run some commands each time to update it.

Dev: "Here's some caviar and crackers I handmade for you."
Us: "Excuse me. Do you have any gold leaf to go on top?"
But seriously, agreed re: upgrade paths for average users. Me, I can't complain, because I'm enjoying the relative simplicity of just downloading a Docker image file onto my Synology NAS, restarting the MSR container, and I'm done. Takes me about 48 seconds total.
