Application unavailable during update

When Segura initiates the update process, it will be unavailable until the activity is complete.

Take a snapshot

Snapshots should be taken only when Segura instances are offline. This ensures the ability to revert to a previous version if necessary.

  1. You can shut down a Segura instance using the following command:
sudo orbit shutdown
  1. Once the instance is completely shut down, take a snapshot in the hypervisor.
  2. Reboot your Segura instance and update the application.
