    # System Requirements

    Before updating, ensure your server meets current requirements:

    1. Operating system:
      • Debian 12 "bookworm" or
      • Debian 13 "trixie" or
      • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) or
      • Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
    2. Memory: We recommend 4GB of RAM
    3. Root access via SSH

    # Before You Begin

    1. Create a complete backup of your server and database. This is essential to prevent data loss.
    2. Ensure you have your PanelAlpha license key ready. Find it in your client area under Licenses (opens new window).
    3. Check the changelog (opens new window) for compatibility and breaking changes.
    4. Test the update process on a staging environment first, if available.
    5. Ensure you have root access via SSH.

    # Update PanelAlpha Application

    The following steps guide you through updating PanelAlpha for maintenance releases:

    1. Access your server via SSH with root privileges:

      ssh root@your-server-ip

    2. Run the update script:

      curl -fsSL https://get.panelalpha.com/app | sh

      Note: The same script is used for both installation and updates. It automatically detects whether PanelAlpha is already installed and updates it when needed.

    3. Wait for the update to complete and follow any on-screen instructions.
