Issue with latest firmware for CloudHub (RPI4 and RPI5)

Submitted by TSA on #1

Hi Michael,

after updating my VirtualHere CloudHub Raspberry 4 and 5 servers, the .profile file got obviously deleted, were I put in some custom aliases.

No problems though, but this file was always retained after an upgrade.

Just to let you know.

Thanks for the info. I will double check this.  When upgrading there are only two files that are saved which is /root/config.ini which is the server configuration and licensing file and /root/server.pem (if that exists, which is the SSL setup)

I had no issues up until 4.8.2 with the .profile file, it was persistent over all upgrades. Starting with 4.8.3 it was deleted.

What is a .profile file? You mean with ash? yes that will be deleted its meant to, only those two files will be preserved as mentioned above

I have a .profile file within /root. This contains some shell commands (ash) that I use more often, like those:

alias temp='vcgencmd measure_temp'
alias la='ls -la'
alias off='poweroff'
...
