Long-term maintenance of the pi-scan image #18

Open decentral1se opened 4 years ago

So, after a while, your pi-scan image gets out of date. By that, I mean, if it is was a typical system, you would run apt update && apt upgrade. However, because this is a read-only file system, we cannot do that. Or is it possible in some fashion? Or is it the idea that you simply re-flash the SD card with the updated pi-scan and get the latest updated OS. Trying to understand the long term maintenance work for pi-scan, can happily submit a documentation patch for this topic.

Using something like Fedora Silverblue might be the solution.

Though, as there is extremely little activity here, I'd say just reflash. You don't have a reason to have it connected to the internets anyway — only updates you would get are for pi-scan.
