Update Altitude

Why Update?

We regularly release improvements, bug fixes, and new features. Updating keeps your Crew Center secure and running smoothly.

The update process is safe and simple — you don't need to reinstall.

Step 1: Log Into Your Server

Open your server console (through DigitalOcean or your provider's dashboard) and log in as root.

Step 2: Run the Updater

Paste this command and press Enter:

curl -fsSL https://install.flyaltitude.app/update-altitude.sh | bash

This command downloads the official updater and runs it in one step. It's the same style as the installer.

Step 3: Confirm Update

The updater will:

Detect your Altitude installation under /opt/altitude
Show the domain it belongs to
Ask you to confirm before continuing

Example:

✈️  Altitude Updater
This will update your Altitude instance in /opt/altitude

✔ Docker is ready 🐳

Found instance:
 - /opt/altitude
   ↳ Domain: https://afva.flyaltitude.app

⚠ Do you want to update this instance? [y/N]

Type y and press Enter to proceed.

If you just press Enter without typing y, the update will abort.

Step 4: Wait for Completion

The script will:

Pull the latest Altitude image
Restart your Crew Center
Clean up old images

When finished you'll see something like:

🎉 Update complete! Your Altitude instance is running the latest version.

Step 5: Verify

Open your Crew Center in your browser (e.g. https://afva.flyaltitude.app). Everything should be running with the latest version.

That's it — your Crew Center is updated!

Advanced: Auto-Confirm

If you want to skip the confirmation (for example in a cron job), run:

curl -fsSL https://install.flyaltitude.app/update-altitude.sh | bash -s -- -y

Troubleshooting

Check logs:

cd /opt/altitude && docker compose logs -f

Check running containers:

docker ps --filter 'name=altitude'

Next Steps

🎉 Your Altitude Crew Center is now updated.
