1/ 🆙 Time to update: DigiNode Tools v26.10.05 is now available! ✨ Automatic system updates ✨ Automatic restarts when needed ✨ Restart reminders 🛠️ Commands work straight away 🛠️ No restart needed after hostname, swap or reset changes …and more 🧵 #DigiByte #DGB #DigiNode

2/ ✨ New: Automatic system updates #DigiNode Setup can now install operating system updates for you automatically, once a day in the background (Debian, Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS). You are asked once: security and stability updates (recommended), all updates, or off.

3/ You can change this at any time from the new System option in the #DigiNode Setup main menu. For an unattended install, set UI_SYSTEM_AUTO_UPDATES and UI_SYSTEM_AUTO_REBOOT in diginode.settings.

4/ ✨ New: Automatic restarts when needed Your #DigiNode can now restart itself automatically when an update needs a restart to finish, such as a new Linux kernel.

5/ It only restarts when needed, at 04:00 (you can change the time from the System menu), and never while it is busy - for example while #DigiNode Setup is running or software is being installed.

6/ If it is busy, it tries again every 30 minutes for the next two hours, and otherwise the next night. Your #DigiByte node is shut down safely and starts again automatically.

7/ You are asked whether you want this when you install - on a Raspberry Pi the suggested answer is Yes, and on other machines (such as a VPS) it is No.

8/ ✨ New: Restart reminders If your #DigiNode needs a restart to finish installing system updates, you are now told when DigiNode Setup finishes, when you close DigiNode Dashboard, and when you log in (if you use the DigiNode MOTD).

9/ It also tells you if an automatic restart was skipped, and why.

11/ They are now installed as commands in /usr/local/bin, instead of aliases in your .bashrc file, so they also work with sudo and in scripts, and they stop working straight away when you uninstall. Existing DigiNodes are switched over automatically the next time you run #DigiNode Setup.

12/ 🛠️ Improvement: No restart needed after hostname, swap or reset changes #DigiNode Setup no longer tells you to restart after changing your hostname, changing your swap file or doing a reset, as these now take effect straight away.

13/ If your hostname changes, just reconnect using the new name.
