Keeping your Astra software up to date is a straightforward process, as the update mechanism mirrors the simplicity of the initial installation. Before performing any update, it is strongly advised to create a backup of your configuration. Astra's configuration data is stored in /etc/astra/ . This step is crucial as it allows you to revert to a working configuration if something goes wrong. The update process involves downloading the latest version of the binary, overwriting the old one, and restarting the service. The complete command sequence is:
curl -LO https://cesbo.com chmod +x install.sh sudo ./install.sh Use code with caution.
