Updating

StartOS makes it easy to keep your services up to date. When updates are available, a badge appears on the Updates tab in the top navigation bar showing the number of pending updates.

Using the Updates Tab

1. Click the Updates tab in the top navigation bar.
2. Updates are organized by registry. Click a registry to list its available updates.
3. Click an update to open the same package details you would see in the Marketplace, including its release notes and who signed it. An update not signed by a key you trust shows a warning, and installing it asks you to confirm the risks first.
4. Click Update, in the details or in the update’s row. If the package has a pre-download alert for your installed version, read it and select Continue to start the download or Cancel to leave the service unchanged.

Switching Registries

It is possible to update a service from a different registry than the one it was originally installed from. If you do this, StartOS will warn you about the registry switch before proceeding.

Updating from the Marketplace

You can also update a service directly from the Marketplace. Navigate to the service’s page and click Update. The same pre-download alert appears there when it applies.
