Update your Opal installation

New releases of Opal are made available on a regular basis—see the changelog for details. To update your installation:

• Connect to your Opal on-premise dashboard: https://<HOSTNAME>:8800
• Click Check for update, which fetches the latest available version from Replicated
• Click Deploy to deploy, which automatically updates all necessary components

You can also go to the Version History in your on-prem dashboard, which has a list of all available versions. From there, you can roll back to previous versions.

Deploying a new release should take less than a minute and does not cause downtime. However, you should always monitor the upgrade in case issues arise.
