Upgrade Your Nodes

Upgrades to the Network are made periodically. There's a simple procedure to follow when an update is announced and you are asked to upgrade your nodes to the latest version

Upgrade using the Node Launchpad

1

Make sure you have the Latest Launchpad, and open it.

2

Press O to open the Options Screen

3

Press Ctrl + U and then Enter to begin the upgrade

Upgrading can take several minutes for each node. Please don't close the app or stop your nodes during this process.

4

Your nodes will then stop

Notice they have been upgraded to the latest version 0.112.6

5

Start your nodes again by pressing Ctrl + S

Upgrading using the CLI

If you are a power user utilising our Node Manager CLI tool and want to upgrade your nodes to the latest version, first make sure you have the latest version of the Node Manger with the command:

safeup update

Then, to being upgrading your nodes, use the command:

safenode-manager upgrade --interval 60000

Using the --interval 60000 argument will leave 60 seconds pause between upgrading each of your nodes. This is recommended for people running up to 50 nodes.

If you are running more than 50 nodes we'd recommend a longer interval of 90000 or more.

If you encounter a failure during the upgrade process, wait 5 minutes, and then run the command safenode-manager start to get any affected nodes connected.
