The updater is designed to preserve data, create a pre-update backup, start the verified release, and retain the prior stopped container until the new version is healthy.
Prepare backup storage
-
Choose storage outside the container
Use a host folder, mounted drive, or network location that will survive replacing the application container.
-
Confirm FECForge can write there
Use the backup settings screen to run a manual backup and confirm the completed file is visible at the destination.
-
Keep more than one generation
Schedule recurring backups and retain several recent copies so a bad import or late-discovered mistake can be recovered.
Run the verified Linux updater
Download a fresh copy of the updater so fixes to the update process are included. Run one command at a time.
-
Download the current updater
Paste this command and press Enter.
curl -fsSLo /tmp/fecforge-update.sh https://license.fecforge.com/updater -
Run the updater
Paste this command and press Enter. Wait for the healthy result before closing the terminal.
bash /tmp/fecforge-update.sh -
Read the backup path in the result
A successful update reports the verified version, health address, automatic-backup destination, and pre-update data archive.
-
Open FECForge and confirm the version
Sign in, open License & modules, and verify that the expected version and modules appear.
-
Keep the prior container briefly
The stopped pre-update container is a rollback aid. Remove older stopped FECForge containers only after the new version and data are confirmed.
