Update

New versions of the platform are usually released every four weeks. Updates may include:

new features;
improvement of existing features;
changes in some of the principles of operation;
correcting errors that occur during the operation of the product.

You can update the platform only from one version of DCImanager 6 to the latest version if you have a valid license. Updating from DCImanager 5 to DCImanager 6 is not supported. You can migrate from DCImanager 5 using the instructions.

When an update is released for DCImanager 6, a popup message “The new version of DCImanager is available” will appear in the platform interface.

When installing and upgrading, the platform downloads software from ISPsystem's online resources:

docker-registry.ispsystem.com — docker registry;
download.ispsystem.com — repository.

These resources are public services and access to them is provided without authentication.

Updating from stable version

Since version 2023.02.1 the platform release system has been changed:

stable releases have been suspended;
the quality of regular versions has been improved to the level of stable.

To determine which version is installed on the server:

through the platform interface — in the right-hand menu, click icon → System overview tab. If the stable version is installed, the Platform version field contains the word stable;
through the terminal connection:
1. Сonnect to the DCImanager 6 server via SSH.
2. Check the Stage parameter value in the file /opt/ispsystem/dci/config.json. If the stable version is installed on the server, this parameter looks like this:
```
"Stage":"stable"
```

If you are using the stable version, you need to upgrade to the regular version:

Сonnect to the DCImanager 6 server via SSH.
Run the command:
```
dci set-stage -s beta
```
In the right-hand menu of the platform interface click icon → System overview → Update DCImanager now.
