In "Bitcoin node configuration" I've added:

Quote
connect=192.168.1.50
connect=192.168.1.90
connect=192.168.1.159

But since v2.0.5 that has appeared in /opt/apolloapi/backend/node/bitcoin.conf as:

Quote
#USER_INPUT_START
connect=192.168.1.50
connect=192.168.1.50
connect=192.168.1.50
#USER_INPUT_END

I've reluctantly taken to editing that file by hand to correct this, and to shut-off the upnp attempts.

Thanks will look into whats causing this parsing bug

Anyone had a successful flash to 2.0.5? I'm a bit weary to upgrade until others report some success, don't have time currently to stuff around reflashing SD cards

It seems it's worked for me because the node is running and the solo mining works.. but i can't reach the dashboard via the browser. Didn't test to plug the apollo directly by hdmi.

Update now reboots system, if you are accessing over web ui on another device the IP address most likely changed on reboot and you'll need to enter new ip address

Keep in mind update takes a while (15-30 minutes since whole UI is rebuilt from source) so it will get stuck in the 60-70% range for a while, dont touch or reboot the system until it reboots by itself otherwise the build will fail and you'll get a broken UI.

I'll have the 2.0.5 images up today (or you can re-image using 2.0.4 and try the OTA update again).

How do I find a new IP address? The full node made no indication of a new IP and simply doesn’t load.

Download an IP scanner or log into your router settings/app this list the devices.

These URLs should also work if you are on a Mac/linux machine to avoid needing ips..

futurebit-apollo-2.local

futurebit-apollo-btc.local

None of the above worked so I just reflashed the OS. Went through setup as normal and tried upgrading again. Everything seemed fine but the version still states 2.0.4 with an option to upgrade to 2.0.5. Any idea why? I am using the native UI of the apollo 2 full node.

Nevermind! It seems to have worked because when I logged in on another device on my network, it properly reflected the new 2.0.5 version. I then reloaded my browser on the unit and it is showing the correct version. Thanks for all the help!

Mine is behaving similarly after upgrading to v2.0.5, it seems to be successful after installing it OTA and rebooting eventually (and the hashrate font is noticeably bigger after that), but it seems to eventually revert back somehow and loads the old 2.0.4 version of the site, the font gets small again, and then the power button flashes and offers an upgrade again, labelled v2.0.4beta at the bottom of the power button menu.  However, doing a full refresh of the tab, or opening it in a new browser tab, brings it all back to 2.0.5 with the bigger font... for a while at least.  This keeps happening so far, this loop.

Restart your browser/ clear your browser cache, it's saving the old version of the site that keeps getting loaded.

Some browsers are worse than others with this behavior.

Same here, update seem to have worked and the miner is hashing but cannot access the dashboard. IP is the same (scanned with Angry IP scanner)

There is a chance the update failed if there is no UI (api is just a git pull so all the backend stuff will work, we rebuild the whole UI locally during the update so if something times out or crashes during update it will kill the UI).

OTA update process is something we need to revamp that we didn't get to in OS 2.

Will have the 2.0.5 image up later today or you can try reflashing to 2.0.4 and try the update again (make sure you dont touch the device for at least half an hour and wait for it to reboot).

The program starts fine, but I get stuck waiting for the device:

Code:
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [43] !!!
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [44] !!!

you should have added your user to the dailout group

Thank you, that seems to be the correct solution!

I've got the Apollo 2 Standard unit hooked up to an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS machine. I have the GitHub repo cloned, and I run:

Code:
./apollo-miner-v2 -host us-east.stratum.braiins.com -port 3333 -user myusername -pswd anything123 -comport /dev/ttyACM0 -powermode eco -ao_mode 1

from within
Code:
Apollo-Miner-Binaries/Apollo II/linux-x86_64
.

The program starts fine, but I get stuck waiting for the device:

Code:
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [43] !!!
>>> Waiting for USB /dev/ttyACM0 [44] !!!

I verified that it's the right device:

Code:
$ ls -al /dev/tty*

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166,  0 Jun 11 01:53 /dev/ttyACM0

I have the unit plugged in, turned on, and connected via USB. I can hear the fans spinning, and the status LED is white on the front.

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Thank you in advance!


EDIT: I added permissions and changed owners of the device and now it seems to be working! For example:
Code:
$ sudo chmod +rwx /dev/ttyACM0
$ sudo chown myuser /dev/ttyACM0

If I win the lottery and find a block, will my miner interface tell me? Or do I just need to monitor my wallet?

It's good to check both, but usually, the miner interface will provide notifications when you find a block, and then you'll also see the transaction in your wallet.

Which binary type did you download, only linux 64 arm 64 and windows gcc is being supported right now, the other binaries will still have the old version

Just tried again to make sure, and yes, it is still the old version. Here is the Linux x86_64 latest binary from main branch:

Code:
wget "https://github.com/jstefanop/Apollo-Miner-Binaries/raw/main/Apollo%20BTC(Gen%201)/linux-x86_64/apollo-miner"

Had a free moment so decided to upgrade. Went fine, as said it takes a while between the 60 and 70% mark but after that it rebooted and came up no worries. I've bound an IP address to the Apollo2 so it kept the same IP and away it went hashing again

My Apollo has upgraded three times and gets stuck after the reboot but the version stays at 2.0.4
https://pasteboard.co/QEuZz6WuZOWA.png
and then it displays the image above i.e. goes back to 0% when I reload the UI it still displays the old version number
The package.json updated today also has the old version number?

Okay fixed that minor hiccup the update process didn't like my VPN gateway
So v2.0.5 installed fine but I still have an orange power button?


Orange power button has gone now after getting a new upgrade message with detailed instructions
