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"
      CODE

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

  1. Сonnect to the DCImanager 6 server via SSH.

  2. Run the command:

    dci set-stage -s beta
    BASH
