Updates

Platform updates

The platform checks cloudron.io periodically and applies updates automatically.

A complete backup of platform data and all apps is created before applying an update. If backup creation fails, the update is not performed.

Updates are GPG signed for security.

Review the official Changelog for a list of changes made in each version.

App updates

Apps are installed from the App Store. The platform checks for updates periodically and applies them based on update settings.

A backup is created before each app update. If backup creation fails, the update is not applied. If an update fails or causes issues, restore from backup to roll back.

Updates can be disabled on a per app level from the Updates section:

Disable App Update

When app updates are disabled or an update is pending, an update indicator is shown:

Update Indicator

Update schedule

The update schedule can be set in System > Update:

Schedule

To disable automatic updates, select Update manually. Administrators receive email notifications when updates are available and can apply them manually.

Rollback

To rollback an app update, restore from a backup.

To rollback a platform update, restore from backup.

Canceled subscription

When you cancel the subscription, the platform and installed apps stop receiving updates. The server and apps continue to run indefinitely. The subscription can be renewed at any time.

Support for outdated systems

Support is limited if the system is significantly out of date. It is recommended to keep the platform updated.
