Update Steps

Every release of KOSI provides a rpm file for manual installation. You need to login into your KubeOps account to download the rpm.

  1. Create an KubOps account on the KubeOps website if you don’t have already and login into your account.

  2. Download your desired version of KOSI .rpm file from our official download page https://kubeops.net/products/downloads/kosi-downloads-en

  3. Update the KOSI rpm on master node or admin node (recommended). You can it simply install the rpm and override the existan version.

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

path to rpm : the directory path in which the file is available.
kosi file name : the exact file name of the file with .rpm extension.
