Bastionhost V3.2.X offers two update methods: immediate manual updates and scheduled automatic updates. This topic describes how to update your bastion host.
Updates
-
When a new version of Bastionhost is released, an update notification appears in the console. This notification displays the scheduled start time for the update.
On the bastion host details page, the scheduled automatic update time, such as
Automatic update at 2024-01-19 06:00:00, is displayed next to the version number. This page also provides links to Manually Upgrade and Automatically Upgrade. Click the Manage button to go to the Bastionhost management console. -
