However, I'd noticed that the update function of Sickrage never did anything. Clicking "check for updates" on the web interface would cause it to pause for a bit, and then display the menu again.
I recently realised it was because GIT tools weren't installed, so I did this via the dietpi-software menus.
Clicking Sickrage web-interface "check for updates" now took much longer, and told me it couldn't determine what version I was running, but I could download the latest, which I let it do. It then sat there spinning "waiting for sickrage to restart". It never did. Eventually, I shutdown and rebooted the Pi.
Sickrage would no longer start.
I fiddled about for some time, then gave up and rolled back to a previous backup using dietpi-backup to restore it. This worked well (thank you!) and it's all good again, although I'm now back to sickrage being unable to update itself.
To get to the point :
Should an installation of sickrage automatically install git tools as well?
Should I even be trying to update sickrage itself from it's own menus, or should I let dietpi software do that when it's deemed reliable?
Because I've rolled back I don't think I've got any useful logs to submit, but I am curious as to the above questions.
Many thanks
