Your issue will be different than the previous person.
Check /var/log/syslog to see why it is failing
I dont see syslog under /var/log
hidden files are showing.
There should be lots of stuff there
There are but no syslog
Not using Rasbian?
Not familiar with bookworm
Might be “/var/log/messages”

I will check. I wil liklely have to start over and reload SK from scratch and then see if the backup will work. I did back it up prior to running the update.
You might want to run the command line to update the server
I have never had to reinstall from scratch
“sudo npm install -g signalk-server”

I did the upgrade today and it was fine.
Can you check your syslog?
@John D which version of node are you running?

I was able to get rolled back to 2.13.5
I do think it’s the node version cause the issue.
2.13.5 is running. Having some issues with a few of the plugins not working and need to find a way to remove them and reinstall. The errors are either Unexpected Token (Charts and InfluxDB2) or Unexpected Identifier (Starlink). WIll also need to go to a newer version of NPM. What version would you suggest?
Use nodejs v20 or v22
And the npm that comes with them
