System Updates / Upgrades

[dwoodshpsi]

I was wondering if there's a recommended way to update and/or upgrade the various containers. Would it be something like podman pull lme-kibana: latest && podman container restart --latest, as an example or is there something else that would be better?

I would not recommend updating containers unless we update them.

but you could basically

Individually pull each new container image you want to update:

sudo -i podman pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.16.0
sudo -i podman pull docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.16.0
sudo -i podman pull docker.elastic.co/beats/elastic-agent:8.16.0

Re-tag each image with the LME_LATEST tag:

sudo -i podman image tag docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.16.0 localhost/elasticsearch:LME_LATEST
sudo -i podman image tag docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:8.16.0 localhost/kibana:LME_LATEST
sudo -i podman image tag docker.elastic.co/beats/elastic-agent:8.16.0 localhost/elastic-agent:LME_LATEST

Restart the LME services:

sudo systemctl restart lme.service

Pick the version you want and change the image tag (meaning the 8.16.0 part -- whichever you want that to be)

this may or may not work -- my actual recommendation is update when we update.

If there's something specific you want from other versions i'd recommend just doing a stand alone ELK stack deployment.

If this is about the vulnerability that recently came out -- that does not impact selfhosted elastic

I have finally got the it to upgrade to 8.17.7 and it works perfectly. If you guys want the process, Let me know. I will send what I have to upgrade from 8.15.3 to 8.17.7.
