BetaNet OS Upgrade Procedure
We recommend the following procedure to upgrade the OS if you operate a BetaNet node.
If the node and gateway are on the same computer:
-
Stop the node and gateway services
$ sudo systemctl stop xxnetwork-node.service xxnetwork-gateway.service -
Perform the upgrade
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade -
Reboot the computer
$ sudo shutdown -r now
If the node and gateway are on different computers:
-
On the node computer, stop the node service
$ sudo systemctl stop xxnetwork-node.service -
On the gateway computer, stop the gateway service
$ sudo systemctl stop xxnetwork-gateway.service -
Perform an upgrade on both computers
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade -
Reboot both computers
$ sudo shutdown -r now
No further actions should be required. In 3-5 minutes of rebooting the computer, if the node is OFFLINE on the CanaryNet dashboard, you should check the node.log and/or gateway.log for insight as to why it is not ONLINE.
