Update from 20.1.9 to newer

[Tblomega]

I have opnsense 20.1.9 (installed in proxmox if it matters, dedicated wan facing vmbr-Virtual nic passed through only to opnsense, prox’s firwall is disabled)

The change-log listing in opnsense lists many newer versions, but the check for update both via web interface and via console option 12 find and accomplished nothing when trying to update…

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

20.9.1 is suspicious... since you didn't post version information I'm guessing you have i386 (32 bit) installed but you really want amd64 (64 bit). 32 bit was discontinued and cannot update anymore.

That would make sense, It does say i386 next to the version on the dashboard…

I seem to recall a way to backup the configurations to be reimported after a full restore (assuming I remember that correctly) does that function work across version such as switching to 64bit?

Easiest way is to use a config import and install from the same system using a newer install image (which are all 64 bit). Config.xml export and rebuild works too, but not strictly necessary.
