Updating to latest libreelec version 12.2 is painless.

If you are running a 32 bit version of the OS you cannot auto update, you have to write a new sd card.  But if you already have a 64bit version follow this guide.

You have been running the Libre Elect OS on a hardware device for a couple of years and think it is probably time to update the software.

Find the latest version for your hardware here

ssh into your hardware device and 

cd /storage/.update
wget

was the version for my hardware.

Wait for it to download and then just reboot and you can watch it walk through everything it needs to do to put that new software into place. 

After the update the hardware will copy over your database of shows and the plug ins and reboot.  It will update the plugins after boot up and shows appeared after a few minutes.
