Upgrading to HubKit 4.3 on Linux / Raspberry Pi

To upgrade HubKit or Coordinator, please follow the procedure below. In a nutshell, we have migrated from a docker-based installation to a .deb package.

This document guides you through the process of upgrading HubKit 4.2 version to 4.3 on Linux / Raspberry Pi.

Update installation of HubKit 4.3 series and Coordinator 2.6 series

Download the server for the appropriate platform from the download site.

• Use SSH to connect to your Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 LTS machine.
• Transfer the downloaded deb package (setup_XXXX.deb) your machine.
• Execute the following Commands in the console:

Ensure you have the latest packages:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Stop your current HubKit that is running”

cd <home directory which you run Gravio>
sudo docker-compose down

Delete the gravio user directory that has been created.

sudo rm -rf /home/<youraccoutforgravio>/

Install Update Manager, Coordinator, and HubKit

sudo apt install -y ./setup_XXXX.deb

Check Update Manager’s running.

Open a browser and access port 8080 of the IP address of Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 LTS.
