Upgrading skyportd

Keep skyportd close to your panel version. The daemon checks compatibility with the panel during enrollment and runtime, so mismatched versions may cause sync failures.

1. Back up local state

sudo cp -r /etc/skyportd/config /etc/skyportd/config.backup

2. Stop the service

sudo systemctl stop skyportd

3. Download the new binary

# For x86_64:
sudo curl -fsSL https://github.com/skyportsh/skyportd/releases/latest/download/skyportd-linux-x86_64 \
    -o /etc/skyportd/skyportd
sudo chmod +x /etc/skyportd/skyportd

For aarch64 or riscv64, replace the binary name accordingly.

4. Start the service

sudo systemctl start skyportd

5. Verify

journalctl -u skyportd -n 50 --no-pager

If the daemon refuses to connect due to a version mismatch, update the panel first.

Upgrade checklist

1. Read the release notes
2. Upgrade the panel first if required
3. Update one node and verify it
4. Roll out to remaining nodes
