Flavors
Flavors are different services that share the same package ID. They are different implementations of the same protocol and data schema — for example, Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots. Because they share the same data schema, flavors tend to satisfy the same dependent services, such as a lightning node or an Electrum server.
Version Format
Flavor versions are designated by their exver prefix: #flavor:upstream-semver:downstream-semver. For more details on version formatting, see Exver.
Limitations
It is not supported to install multiple flavors of the same service simultaneously. However, you can switch between them.
Switching Flavors
To switch from one flavor to another:
- Go to the Marketplace.
- Find and view the listing for the flavor you want to switch to.
- Instead of an Install, Update, or Downgrade button, you will see a Switch button. Click it to switch.
