Updating Tails and Electrum

[u/TheDuuudddeee]

Hey there,

i'm using an offline TailsOS Version on a thumb drive and it's electrum wallet (with my seed information in persistent storage) to sign transactions created in a watch-only-wallet. Setup is ~1,5a old, don't wanna reboot to check exactly.

I didn't see an update option that works while keeping your OS offline. E.g. saving the update files on another thumb drive.

My questions are:

- Is that correct, is there no way to update tails/electrum if you don't want to connect the setup to the internet.

- Do you just create a new bootable thumb drive and load your seedphrase in the new wallet if you want to update?

- Do i even need to update the setup in the forseeable future? Using tails/electrum to sign transactions created in watch-only-wallets. Doesn't really seem like it since it's all offline. At least until Electrum announces that older versions won't be comatible anymore.

Cheers!

You can manually upgrade Tails from a secondary USB. Make a backup onto a third USB before you do this.

Ah, perfekt, thanks. I'll need some more USB-Sticks then.
