Are old balena os versions stored somewhere? How can I access them?
I am running into an API mismatch problem because I am running a very old version of openbalena. I believe I need balenaOS version 2.58 like my other devices are running, but I can only find the most recent version on the website.
Hi, you can use the balena CLI to download OS versions, see the balena os download command balena CLI Documentation - Balena Documentation
You can also list all available OS versions for a specific device type by doing balena os versions <device type>
Thanks for getting back to me. The documentation indicates that it won’t work with openBalena, which we are using. Is that still the case?
Hi, the documentation at openBalena - Home states to download a new unmanaged image from balenaOS - Run Docker containers on embedded IoT devices. That is the same as using balena os download. You will then configure it as per the instructions with balena os configure to join your openBalena fleet.
Yes… and that page does not have previous versions of balenaOS, hence the impetus to use the CLI command in the first place.
When clicking one of the buttons on that page, the query string of the download url has a query param. I tried modifying this param to see if other versions were hosted but not linked to, but haven’t tried a version that worked. Should I keep exploring this option?
If you run balena os versions <your-device-type> you’ll see a list of all the versions of balenaOS that are available to download. Running, for example, balena os download fincm3 --version v2.95.8will allow you to download specifically version v2.95.8 for the balenaFin. Let us know if this resolves your question!
balena os versions raspberrypi3 returns the following: Error: No balenaOS versions found for device type 'raspberrypi3'.
Same thing when I swap in raspberrypi4-64 for the device type. Is this because I am using openBalena? The documentation indicates that balena os versions is not supported on openBalena.
Hello @ca1ebd could you please confirm what balena CLI version are you using?
balena os versions might work for everyone. Actually i’m getting this:

I am using 12.55.11, I believe when I try to use version 13/the latest version there is an issue with API endpoints not working. Do I need to try using a later version?
Just wanted to follow up on this. Any thoughts here?
Here are my recent runs with the updated CLI:

Hi @ca1ebd,
Could you paste the output of balena devices supported [1]? As this is an openBalena deployment, it could be that some aspect of the device-type setup or OS image malfunctioned. The CLI command I mentioned should tell us what the API recognizes as valid device types.
Thanks,
Christina
If this command also errors as your other commands have (thanks for pasting the outputs of those commands by the way!), you could try looking at the logs for your open-balena-api service to see if there’s a more specific error message returned from the CLI command than a status code.
This command also fails… I checked the logs on the container as you requested, and this error jumped out (there are lots of logs coming quickly but I can post the whole thing if needed)
