Updates
Bitsmith checks for new releases and shows an update badge on the Home page when one is available. Updating replaces the Bitsmith service with the new version. Your storage, apps, and settings carry over.
Apply an update
Section titled “Apply an update”When an update is available, open it to see the new version and its release notes. Apply it, and Bitsmith downloads and installs the new version, then restarts its service. The interface is briefly unavailable during the restart; your apps and file transfers keep running, since only the management service restarts.
Release channels
Section titled “Release channels”- Stable is the default: released versions, recommended for everyday use.
- Beta gets new features earlier, in exchange for less time in testing. Choose it if you want to try what’s coming and don’t mind the occasional rough edge.
Switch channels from the update settings. You can move back to stable at any time.
From the command line
Section titled “From the command line”On the server you can also update with sudo bitsmith update, or pin a
specific version with sudo bitsmith update --version <tag>. The web flow is
the easier path for most updates.
