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.

10/ 🛠️ Improvement: Commands work straight away The 'diginode' and 'diginode-setup' commands, and #DigiByte Core's commands such as 'digibyte-cli', now work straight away after a new install - you no longer need to log out or restart first.

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.

14/ 🛠️ Improvement: No restart needed after an uninstall After an uninstall, #DigiNode Setup no longer tells you to restart your system, which wasn't needed.
