Trying to upgrade from a 2021 release to the latest one, absolutely no idea whether this will work or not...

Originally I abandoned this install because the API I used to integrate a DIY addressable LED strip (controlled by a media player entity, changed colour to match the cover art) was removed and replaced with something else, and I didn't have time to redevelop it.

For a while its been possible to do something pretty similar with WLED - at that point I was just putting off the upgrades to not break anything 😅

At this point it's probably a better idea to re-install but let's see how this goes!

I did a similar jump a while back, actually went quite well, at least via docker. I kept the old image on hand in case I needed to revert.

But yes, backup first.
