Posted
Updated
ByTiyan
Ensuring the security and stability of your Linux operating system is crucial. Regular software updates bring bug fixes, security enhancements, and new features. This step-by-step guide will help you keep your CloudRaya Linux VMs updated.
Before You Start
Before you begin, make sure you have a backup of your system. This will help you recover your data if something unexpected happens during the update process.
There are several ways to create a backup of your system. One of the easiest ways is to use the backup or snapshot features on your CloudRaya VM detail panel.
Update your VM
CloudRaya supports various Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Oracle Linux, and more. Let’s explore how to keep them updated on your CloudRaya VM.
Ubuntu, Debian, Kali, and other apt-based Distributions
- Updating the Package List
The first step is to update your package list. This will ensure that you have the latest list of all packages that are available to install or update. Run the following command in a terminal:
$ sudo apt update
- Updating Packages
Once your package list is updated, you can start updating packages. Run the following command in a terminal to update all packages.
$ sudo apt upgrade
- Restarting (Optional)
Some updates might require a reboot for changes to take full effect. Check the output of sudo apt upgrade for specific instructions. If a restart is recommended, run:
$ sudo reboot
RHEL-Compatible Distributions (CentOS, Rocky Linux, Alma Linux, etc.) and DNF-based Distributions (Fedora, OpenSUSE, Oracle Linux, etc.)
- Updating the Package List
Ensure you have the latest information on available packages. Run:
$ sudo dnf update
- Updating Packages
Once your package list is updated, execute the following command to update all packages.
$ sudo dnf upgrade
- Restarting (Optional)
Some updates might require a reboot for changes to take full effect. Check the output of sudo dnf upgrade for specific instructions. If a restart is recommended, run:
$ sudo reboot
Conclusion
By following these steps, you ensure that your CloudRaya VMs are equipped with the latest bug fixes, security enhancements, and features, contributing to a reliable and secure computing environment.
