but I still am not able to update it. It really shouldn’t be this hard to update. I used the terminal and followed all the steps but first the issue was with the amount of memory, then I used another computer and again followed the instructions and the issue was something about node being outdated.
If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated. Is there an easier way to update???
Grateful for your help Ryan, but I’m stuck on the backup part, which reads:
Run ghost backup again within a folder where Ghost was installed with Ghost-CLI.
Upgrading Ghost is easy like cleaning your house is easy: It’s a lot easier if you do it once a month, but your Ghost install hasn’t been upgraded in about 3 years. v3.4 was released in January 2020.
Since then, Ghost, MySQL, Node and Ubuntu have all gone through major version updates. So yes, it’s going to be more complex then just ghost update in this case.
Also, you might’ve created another user when installing Ghost. Upon login to your droplet, there’s usually a prompt giving you a command on how to switch to that user. You should do that to ensure a smooth upgrade path.
I ran the "sudo -I -u ghost -mgr and then ran “ghost update” but it takes me back to the “run ghost update within a folder where ghost was installed with ghost-CLI”
I think if I can get passed this part, I will be able to run the update.
Okay tried that and it said to upload first to v3.42.9, so I ran that update and it now says “An error has occurred” message: ‘fs.rmSync is not a function’
At least it is moving along! Any other suggestions?
