Installing update packages
Periodically Solidshield teams releases update packages and how to install them varies depending on which installation flavor you are running:
-
Ubuntu Virtual Machine: in this case the setup is done directly through the management panel
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux: the update is rolled out using an updater binary that requires root privileges in order to install
Ubuntu Virtual Machine
Warning
Installation of updates via the management panel cannot be used on Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations, refer to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in that case.
In order to install update packages on a running server, navigate to the Admin tab, click the browse button and select the update file in the Select package to install field then click Upload.
When the upload finishes, update versions and change log will show, clicking the Install update will trigger the update process.
At the end of the procedure you will have to log-in again.
Red Hat installer
Running the update installation requires root privileges and is a one-liner.
Once the updater file has been downloaded and copied into the server, run the following commands:
chmod +x solidupdater_xxxx.bin
./solidupdater_xxxx.bin
Where xxxx represents the version number.
In a few minutes the protection server, the management panel and all tools will be updated.
