Updating Fleet
This guide explains how to update and run new versions of Fleet. For initial installation instructions, see Installing Fleet.
There are two steps to perform a typical Fleet update. If any other steps are required, they will be noted in the release notes.
As with any enterprise software update, it's a good idea to back up your MySQL data before updating Fleet.
Updating the Fleet binary
Follow the binary update instructions corresponding to the original installation method used to install Fleet.
Raw binaries
Download the latest raw Fleet binaries:
curl -O https://dl.kolide.co/bin/fleet_latest.zip
Unzip the binaries for your platform:
# For a Darwin compatible binary
unzip fleet_latest.zip 'darwin/*' -d fleet
./fleet/darwin/fleet --help
# For a Linux compatible binary
unzip fleet_latest.zip 'linux/*' -d fleet
./fleet/linux/fleet --help
Replace the existing Fleet binary with the newly unzipped binary.
Docker container
Pull the latest Fleet docker image:
docker pull kolide/fleet
Running database migrations
Before running the updated server, perform necessary database migrations:
fleet prepare db
Note, if you would like to run this in a script, you can use the --no-prompt option to disable prompting before the migrations.
The updated Fleet server should now be ready to run:
fleet serve
