🔄 XC_VM Update Guide

This document describes the process of updating XC_VM via the web control panel. Follow these steps to safely update the system and avoid errors.

⚙️ Before You Start

Make sure all necessary resources are ready before updating. This helps prevent issues and data loss.

🔑 Administrator access to the control panel.
🌐 Stable internet connection.
💾 Server data backup (strongly recommended before starting).

⚠️ Important: Do not interrupt the update process to avoid system corruption.

🪜 Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to update via the panel. Each step is illustrated with a screenshot for convenience.

1️⃣ Go to the “Servers” Section

Log in to the control panel.
Select Servers from the main menu.

2️⃣ Select “Manage Servers”

In the Servers section, click Manage Servers to open the list of available servers.

Locate the server you want to update.
Click the Actions button — usually a dropdown menu or an icon next to the server.

4️⃣ Go to “Server Tools”

In the Actions menu, select Server Tools to open server management utilities.

5️⃣ Run “Update Server”

In Server Tools, click Update Server.
Confirm the action if prompted (password may be required).
Wait for the update to complete — do not interrupt the process to avoid errors.

💻 Update via CLI

If the web panel is unavailable or you prefer the command line, the update can be triggered directly via SSH.

Connect and Run

Connect to the server via SSH.
If needed, make the console script executable:

sudo chmod +x /home/xc_vm/console.php

Run the command:

sudo -u xc_vm /home/xc_vm/console.php update update

⚠️ Important: The command must run as the xc_vm user. Do not run it as root directly.

What Happens

The system checks GitHub for a new version.
The update archive is downloaded and its checksum (MD5) is verified.
The system update script stops services, applies files, and runs post-update tasks.

🧠 Notes and Recommendations

🕒 Update Duration Depends on server size and internet speed. Usually takes from a few minutes up to an hour.

✅ Post-Update Check After completion, verify server status, restart services, and ensure everything is working correctly.

⚠️ Update Errors If errors occur, check server logs (e.g., in /home/xc_vm/update.log). If the problem persists, create an issue in the repository.
