I want to upgrade from 6.34 to newst version but I have this error.
```sh
"Getting latest version from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaIng/DietPi/jessie-support/.update/version
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404"
```
I know my version is too old, but I have a lot of services there and I can’t start over.
Is there any option to upgrade without problems?
Thank you so much!

Yes your system is extremely old, outdated and not supported anymore.
What exactly is your aim to update DietPi version? Or do you plan as well to update the Debian version from Stretch \> Buster \> Bullseye? Because just updating DietPi scripts will not update any software package you might running as this most probably require a manual Debian version update.
can you share your current version
```auto
cat /etc/debian_version
```

Maybe a min. Debian version 10 (Buster) is required. Let’s check with our developer @MichaIng before going ahead. As well, can you share installed software
```nohighlight
dietpi-software list | grep ' =2 '
```

At least Stretch is required to update further, also just to a support branch since we dropped Stretch support already as well.
Ah, but you upgraded to Stretch already. Do this to update DietPi to latest version available for Stretch:
```bash
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'DEV_GITBRANCH=' 'DEV_GITBRANCH=stretch' /boot/dietpi.txt
dietpi-update 1
```
Then you can follow our guides to further upgrade to Buster and Bullseye. After each upgrade, first check whether all services are still running as expected:

- `dietpi-update 1`

Can you share the full output of the update? If the output is to long, copy it into a `log.txt` and attach it to the post simply.
