At the top, this page shows the running version (the software currently active) and the installed version (the version according to the package manager; it shows "not installed" if SmartPi was never installed as a package – the two may briefly differ until the service restarts).

Only one operation can run at a time – while one is running, all buttons below are locked and a status field with a progress log appears.

Upload update package
  • Select a file (.deb) and click Upload to install a SmartPi update package manually. Example: a smartpi_2026.09.17-bookworm_arm64.deb provided by the manufacturer.

Caution

Installing smartpi itself may restart the web server partway through the process – the page may be briefly unreachable, but the progress continues in the background.

Packages (apt)
  • Update package lists: equivalent to apt-get update – fetches the current list of available packages from the configured sources.
  • Search packages: search field, e.g. mosquitto, with a Search button (or Enter). Results appear with name, description and an Install button on each row.
  • Available updates: list of all packages for which a newer version is available (current version → new version), each with its own Install button, plus Upgrade all to update all listed packages in one go.

Example: after "Update", "Available updates" shows e.g. influxdb2 2.7.0 → 2.7.3 – clicking Install on this row updates only this one package, whereas Upgrade all updates all the displayed packages at once.
