Trouble upgrading

Hello forum users,

Im currently on TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.4.2 and want to update to the current version 25.04. But I keep bumping into problems. First my update feature in interface didnt work. When I looked through the error it said this: unsquashfs failed with exit code 1 . The autoupdate feature didnt work. I tried manual update but newer version didnt work because I guess i have old version of python or smth? TypeError: dataclass() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘kw_only’

While I was trying to fix it i restarted my bios through cmos battery removal as i had trouble with bios. Now my update is bricked with this error:
Cannot connect to host update. ixsystems .com:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, ‘[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate is not yet valid (_ssl.c:1123)’)]: Automatic update check failed. Please check system network settings.
And when i tried the upgrade with USB that has the new ISO the installer doesnt let me upgrade and only clean install.

What my easiest way to fix this? Im rookie user and dont have much experience.

Thanks for any help. <3

The ssl error is because your bios time is most likely set wrong. It should be set to utc and then you should set your local tima through the gui.

Did you try to jump directly to 25.04 from 22.12? If yes that’s not supported.
You should follow the recommendation to jump from one major version to the next.
If you don’t want to do that i’d install 25.04 fresh and and redo my setup on 25.04

Thanks! I upgraded it and pretty much everything works now.

I just think my VM disappreared. Could it be that its somehow unmapped or smth? Is there easy way to map it again?

You really needed to have read the release notes! Not only would these have told you that VMs changed under 25.04, but also that apps changed several times in various releases. Had you done this, you would probably have upgraded to 24.10.2.2 instead so that your VM would continue working.

I think you should be still able to use the System > Boot screen to roll back to your 22.12 boot environment and then, as @LarsR said, we recommend stepping sequentially from the latest release of each major version to the next major version (see Upgrade Paths).

And while you go you should also read the release notes for each version so you know what to expect and what you might need to prepare for along the way. For 23.10 and 24.04 you can look in the Documentation Archive | TrueNAS Documentation Hub, and then 24.10 (Electric Eel) Version Notes | TrueNAS Documentation Hub and 25.04 (Fangtooth) Version Notes | TrueNAS Documentation Hub.
