balena Documentation

Offline updates allow updating devices without an internet connection by preloading a balenaOS image and reflashing it. Unlike a standard reflash, this process preserves the device's unique identity (UUID) and configurations in config.json, allowing the device to resume operation with the same name and UUID but with an updated release or balenaOS version.

Warning: This process wipes all data on the device. Any user data or system settings written to device partitions will be lost. To recover or preserve data, use external mass storage (USB) mounted into a privileged data container, as external storage is not affected by the update process.
