    Fix OTA updates on custom Umbrel installs


⚠️ Important: You only need to follow these instructions if you have a custom Umbrel install. If you're running Umbrel OS on a Raspberry Pi you can safely ignore this.

Custom Umbrel OS installs that started Umbrel with sudo scripts/start in an SSH sessions and then closed the SSH session
encountered a bug where the OTA update script would not work due to missing file descriptors.
This has now been fixed (getumbrel/umbrel#269), however the update process for existing users involves manual steps.
# cd into the dir you installed Umbrel in
cd /path/to/your/custom/umbrel/install

# Manually update to latest Umbrel
sudo scripts/update/update --repo getumbrel/umbrel#v0.2.12

# Reboot system to make sure all background Umbrel services are stopped
sudo reboot

# cd into the dir you installed Umbrel in
cd /path/to/your/custom/umbrel/install

# Start Umbrel again
sudo scripts/start
After completeing the above steps, future OTA updates will work directly from the dashboard UI.
