Update Resilio Agents

Update order

Update your Management Console and private tracker server (if applicable) prior to updating Agents.

To update Agents download the appropriate installer and follow the steps below.

Note

Agents will remain in their groups after the update.

  1. Stop Resilio Connect Agent service.
  2. Download the Resilio Connect Agent MSI installer to the Windows workstation.
  3. Start the MSI installer
  4. Click OK to relaunch Windows Explorer. Update Agent Manually Windows

After update is complete, the agent will keep on working the way it was set up.

MSI and Network shares

Do not launch MSI installer from network shares. This will cause the installer to fail.

Tarball archive

To update an Agent installed via a tarball archive:

  1. Stop current Agent process.
    If it was installed through plain binary file: sudo killall rslagent
    If the Agent is registered as daemon (daemon name may vary): sudo systemctl stop resilio-agent

  2. Download the agent's tar archive and unpack it to the same directory where rslagent binary is located.

  3. Launch it the same way and with the same config as agent.

Successful update conditions

For successful updating and preserving all the settings, two conditions must be met:

  • New Agent shall be using same settings as 'old' Agent
    Settings are kept in .sync directory in the current location (pwd) from where the process is launched. So updated agent shall also be launched from the same directory.

  • Agent shall have read-write access to the settings and shared files. So if necessary, adjust posix permissions in the system.
