Update order
Update your Management Console and private tracker server (if you use one) prior to updating Agents.To update Agents download the appropriate installer and follow the steps below. Agents will remain in their groups after update.
- Stop Resilio Connect Agent service.
- Download the Resilio Connect Agent MSI installer to the Windows workstation.
- Start the MSI installer
- Wizard will require relaunch Windows Explorer upon installation.
After update is complete, the agent will keep on working the way it was set up.
MSI and Network shares
Do not launch MSI installer from network shares. This will cause the installer to fail.- Stop current Agent process.
If it was installed through plain binary file:sudo killall rslagent
If the Agent is registered as daemon (daemon name may vary):sudo systemctl stop resilio-agent - Download the agent's tar archive and unpack it to the same directory where rslagent binary is located.
- Launch it the same way and with the same config as agent.
Successful update conditions
For successful updating and preserving all the settings, two conditions must be met:- New Agent shall be using same settings as 'old' Agent
Settings are kept in .sync directory in the current location (pwd) from where the process is launched. So updated agent shall also be launched from the same directory. - Agent shall have read-write access to the settings and shared files. So if necessary, adjust posix permissions in the system.
Download the Resilio Connect Agent dmg file. Stop the current Agent if it's running and launch the downloaded package. Move it to Applications folder picking to replace the existing file.
Once done, launch the Agent the way you're used to.
Agent will preserve its settings and keep working the way it was set up.
