How to update KOSI

This guide shows you how to update KOSI. KOSI can only be downloaded from our official website.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

A machine with the RHEL 9 operating system.
Helm must be installed on your machine.

Refer to the Helm Official Documentation for the Installation Guide.

For KOSI versions, you must have Podman installed on your machine.

Note

Before installing Podman, make sure that the number of user namespaces (max_user_namespaces) is specified on your system if you are a non-root user.

For more information, follow this GitHub link.

To install Podman, run the following command:
```
sudo dnf install podman
```
⚠ Caution

KOSI supports only secure registries. If you use an insecure registry, you must explicitly add it as an insecure registry in registries.conf (/etc/containers/registries.conf).

Update Steps

Each KOSI release includes an RPM file for manual installation. To download the RPM, you must log in to your KubeOps account.

Create a KubeOps Account:
If you haven’t already, create a KubeOps account on the KubeOps website and log in to your account.
Download the RPM:
Download your desired version of the KOSI RPM file from the official download page:

Update the KOSI RPM:
On your admin node, update KOSI by installing the new RPM. This will replace the existing version. Run the following command:

 sudo dnf install <path to rpm>/<kosi file name>

Note

  - Replace `<path_to_rpm>` with the directory path where the file is located.  
  - Replace `<kosi_file_name>` with the exact file name of the RPM (including the `.rpm` extension).
