Upgrading STINGAR v2 Platform

STINGARv2 Updates

Forewarned provides updates as minor release versions (e.g. 2.3, 2.4, ...). See the User Guide upgrading page for in-app automated updates on Docker admin servers.

Podman admin servers (RHEL)

In-app auto-update is not available on Podman installs in v2.4. From your quickstart directory:

./scripts/compose.sh pull
./scripts/compose.sh up -d

Manual upgrade (all platforms)


1) Backup your STINGAR honeypot data
2) Stop your currently running STINGAR system
./scripts/compose.sh down
3) Backup your current STINGAR files
cp docker-compose.yml docker-compose_ORIG.yml
cp stingar.env stingar_ORIG.env
4) Optionally remove cached images so new images are downloaded
docker image prune -a or podman image prune -a
5) Replace or update image tags in docker-compose.yml for the target release
6) Start the new version
./scripts/compose.sh up -d

See docker-compose.yml reference for the latest example.
