Manually update private locations
When you install a private checkpoint, it creates a script and a scheduled task (on Windows) or cron job (on Linux) that automatically updates checkpoint containers every hour. If you want to update them earlier or on a specific schedule, you can manually trigger the container update.
To update a container manually:
- Open PowerShell as Administrator (Windows) or terminal (Linux).
- Navigate to the directory with your
docker-compose.yml(orcompose.yaml) file and run:
docker-compose pulldocker-compose downdocker-compose up
During the update, your other private checkpoints will continue performing checks. You don’t need to disable the checkpoint being updated or stop any monitors. It’s recommended to have at least one other checkpoint instance running during the update.
Note: It is important to keep your Docker containers up to date. The containers have a built-in Chrome and Edge browser that must be kept current to avoid becoming a security liability. Uptrends will show a warning or error if your containers are out of date.
