this feels like a silly question but… since juju is always running … sudo snap refresh seems to just run over it and not upgrade…
I see a lot of background tasks and don’t want to just kill them for fear of breaking my setup… so is there a way to tell juju “go ahead” and upgrade yourself?
What in juju are you looking to upgrade? Client, controller, workload models?
Snaps by default upgrade themselves when a new version is available in the channel you’re tracking.
The juju client updates about once a month these days depending on the track used. The juju-db snap installed on controller machines rarely updates as to not disrupt exiting configs. There is no snap today for jujud running on juju machines.
I guess I’m after the client and subsequently the controller
I’ve experienced with snaps like slack that I must close them before they can auto upgrade
This usually comes up as a prompt asking me to close … and then I perform the snap refresh command … but since juju is always running I worried I’ll have no way to “force” the upgrade…
Sounds like it should just work on reboots … and for the LXD controller do I need to do anything other than wait?
I saw in my status page I’m 1 version behind and I’d guess that that is the controllers version…
Unless you’ve changed settings in snap, the juju client snap will refresh when a change is pushed to the channel. No reboot required.
Upgrading the juju controller is done by the user. It won’t happen automagically as it’s usually a planned exercise. After a controller is updated, the remaining models for that controller would then be upgraded.
Details can be found in the upgrading things juju doc.
