Updating / Uninstalling

Keep StartTunnel up to date by re-running the installer, or remove it entirely when decommissioning a VPS.

Updating

There are three ways to update StartTunnel.

Install script

Re-run the install command:

curl -sSL https://start9labs.github.io/start-tunnel/install.sh | sh

The installer detects the existing installation, prompts for confirmation, and restarts the service.

CLI

start-tunnel update

Web UI

Navigate to Settings > Version > Check for Updates.

Uninstalling

StartTunnel is designed to run on a dedicated VPS. To remove it, simply destroy the VPS through your hosting provider. All WireGuard keys and configuration are stored on the VPS and will be removed with it.
