Upgrading an x86 router vm [solved]

[daggs]

Greetings,

my router sits on a headless server running under a libvirt vm as x86.
the docs mention that there is no way to upgrade the router and that I need to take the new fs and replace the old on with it.
thing is, I need network to preform such change, any ideas how I can upgrade the router without special handling? (start connecting it to input and output or extract the hdd)

I was actually told less than 24 hours ago, that you can sysupgrade an x86:

X86/64 sysupgrade losing settings (F2FS)?

Eh? Sure you can . You just flash the default images with sysupgrade (notice how there's no factory or sysupgrade images for x86 e.g.).

I compile openwrt locally and I cannot find any sysupgrade or bin file in the target folder.

selected openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext4.img.gz at the upgrade tab and thats. it.
