Public Alpha Test: Audio Without Compromise - Volumio on Bookworm Begins

Dear Volumionauts,

New Feature: Updater Channel Selector

Starting from v4.003, Volumio now includes a Release Channel Selector, allowing you to easily choose which update stream your device follows:

  • Stable – Default, production-grade releases
  • Test – Pre-release builds with staging fixes
  • Alpha – Experimental builds for early testing

You can find the selector at:
http://<volumio_ip>/dev

How to use it:

On fresh flash of v4.004:
Nothing extra is needed – just visit /dev and select your preferred update channel.

On OTA upgrade from older versions:
To enable the selector, connect via SSH and run:

rm -rf /data/test-alpha

Then reload the /dev page and select your update channel.

Kind Regards,
