|

.. note:: StartOS will **NEVER** update itself without your approval. But we highly recommended keeping StartOS up to date for the latest security and performance patches, as well as to take advantage of new features.
|
||||
|
||||
How to Update
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
#. When a new version of StartOS is available, a badge will appear on the "System" tab.
|
||||
#. Go to *System > Software Update*.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning:: Ensure you have a stable Internet connection before beginning an OS update, and do not unplug your server while StartOS is downloading.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Read the release notes and click "Begin Update".
|
||||
#. While the new version of StartOS is downloading, you may continue to use your device as usual.
|
||||
#. Once the download is complete, you will be prompted to restart your server.
|
||||
#. After restart, but before the web interface becomes available again, there may be an upgrade period of up to thirty minutes while data is transitioned.
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not unplug or otherwise power off your server during this period.**
|
||||
|
||||
Next, you may be prompted to refresh the browser window.

Manual Update
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
In some cases, it may be necessary to manually update by :ref:`re-flashing StartOS<flashing>`. Reasons might include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Updating from a beta or other experimental install
|
||||
- :ref:`Reset your password<reset-password>`
|
||||
- Something went wrong during an update (very rare)
