Update Olares

Olares regularly releases new versions with feature improvements and usability enhancements. This guide explains how to check for and install system updates.

Olares admin required

Only Olares admin can perform system updates. Updates will apply to all members within the same Olares cluster.

TIP

For details on Olares versioning practices and the current limitations regarding cross-minor version upgrades (e.g. 1.10.5 to 1.11.0), see Olares versioning.

Check and install updates

TIP

Review the release notes before updating to learn about new features and important changes.

1. Open Settings, and click System > Version.
2. Click Upgrade now when there is an available new version.

You'll see a confirmation message when update completed.

Update olaresd manually

olaresd is the core daemon process of the Olares system responsible for various key management functions. In some cases, upgrading Olares may require manually updating olaresd to address issues where certain services fail to function properly.

To confirm if this step is required, refer to the Release notes.

To update olaresd manually:

1. Log in to your Olares host machine.
2. Execute the following command in the terminal:

   curl -SsfL https://dc3p1870nn3cj.cloudfront.net/upgrade_1_11_3.sh | bash -

Note

• The script suffix 1_11_3 means to upgrade olaresd and olares-cli to version 1.11.3.
• Currently, only the v1.11.3 upgrade script is available, which resolves the issue of being unable to mount external hard drives after upgrading from 1.11.2 to 1.11.3.
