Upgrading skyportd

Keep skyportd close to your panel version. The daemon checks compatibility with the panel, so do not treat it as a completely independent component.

1. Back up local state

Before upgrading, back up:

• /etc/skyportd/config/
• /etc/skyportd/skyportd.db if you keep the working directory there
• your service unit if you customized it

2. Stop the service

sudo systemctl stop skyportd.service

3. Download the latest binary

sudo curl -fsSL https://github.com/skyportsh/skyportd/releases/latest/download/skyportd -o /usr/local/bin/skyportd
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/skyportd

4. Start the service again

sudo systemctl start skyportd.service

5. Check logs

journalctl -u skyportd -n 100 --no-pager

If the daemon refuses to connect because of a compatibility check, update the panel to the matching release line first.

Zero-drama upgrade checklist

• read the release notes
• upgrade the panel first if required
• update one node daemon and verify it
• roll out to the rest of your nodes
