Bought an old box that still has 22.05.1 and it refuses to update
-
Evening,
I've recently acquired a Netgate 2100 from a friend who resetted it for me.
However, the device is still on v. 22.05.1 which is outdated by now. It's offering an update to 23.01, but the update check fails with "Unable to check for updates".There is a solution in this thread: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/174768/unable-to-check-for-updates-solved ,
but I noticed it refers to the amd64 branch, not the (aarch?) branch of the NetGate 2100.
The old entries in the file are referencing the "repo.netgate.com" server which is apparently no longer available.
How can I fix the files? -
From a version that old when you are resetting it anyway I would just install 24.03 clean:

@stephenw10 I currently dont have an adapter for serial to LAN and neither do I have an account for the store...
Is there really no way to just upgrade from the GUI? Can't I just fill in the right sources?
Edit1: Nvm. Wrote bullshit. I have the USB cable so I might just go forward with that.

Yup the console cable is just standard USB.

@stephenw10 Everything worked. Thank you for your input, it's much appreciated.
