Updates to this tool

[goodtimeclub]

Wondering how you would recommend safely updating existing instances of this. Any suggestions?

The update process can be done like this:

#Save your config
cp -v /usr/local/bin/rpisurv/conf/surveillance.yml /tmp/surveillance.yml.save
#Update to latest
git pull
#Run installer
run ./install.sh
#Put back your config
cp -v /tmp/surveillance.yml.save /usr/local/bin/rpisurv/conf/surveillance.yml
reboot

Note: this can only be done if there are no breaking changes in config. Otherwise you need to edit the config by hand. Up till now no breaking have been introduced however

Thanks, Sven! Thought I'd check to see if that was the case - will keep my Pis up to date ;)
