[MickLesk]

Whats your php version? php -v

Can you perform an composer update? composer update

looks like an bug if firefly himself

[MickLesk]

hm they changed there documentation 2 days ago.

[Portex92]

php version is: PHP 8.4.4 (cli) (built: Feb 15 2025 09:04:02) (NTS)

composer update works but updates to 6.1.25 which I already have.

[MickLesk]

Do you have the nerve to carry out the update manually?

 RELEASE=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/releases/latest | grep "tag_name" | awk '{print substr($2, 3, length($2)-4)}')
    systemctl stop apache2
    cp /opt/firefly/.env /opt/.env
    cp -r /opt/firefly/storage /opt/storage
    rm -rf /opt/firefly/*
    cd /opt
    wget -q "https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/releases/download/v${RELEASE}/FireflyIII-v${RELEASE}.tar.gz"
    tar -xzf FireflyIII-v${RELEASE}.tar.gz -C /opt/firefly --exclude='storage'
    cd /opt/firefly

    echo "${RELEASE}" >"/opt/firefly_version.txt"

[Portex92]

I tried it but it gave me an error at the following point:

Sorry I'm not a developer so i can't contribute anything more

[MickLesk]

Could it be that your memory is full? Can you do df -h?

[Portex92]

Disk size is okay:

root@firefly:/opt/firefly# df -h
Dateisystem Größe Benutzt Verf. Verw% Eingehängt auf
/dev/loop1 3,9G 2,0G 1,7G 54% /
none 492K 4,0K 488K 1% /dev

tmpfs 3,2G 80K 3,2G 1% /run
tmpfs 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock

Memory is at 14%

I ran into the same problem. Fortunately I could resolve the issue by following the firefly.sh script manually and adjusting the commands with common sense. Also I had to create the folder /opt/firefly/storage/framework/sessions manually to not run into an HTTP 500 error.

[MickLesk]

is this the solution?
