Self-Updating
StratoLens keeps itself current. Out of the box, it checks for new stable releases daily at 02:00 UTC and installs them on its own, so most administrators never need to touch this feature. The manual flow exists for the times you want to opt into a beta or alpha build early, roll back to an older version, or recover an install that's reporting v0.0.0.
What You'll Learn
- How automatic updates work and what they will and won't install
- How to manually install a specific version, including beta and alpha builds
- What the update progress modal shows and when to refresh your browser
- How to change the auto-update schedule, release track, or turn it off entirely
Key Capabilities
Automatic by Default
A scheduled version check runs daily and installs the newest eligible stable release on its own. No CLI, no redeploy, no scheduled maintenance window.
Manual Install When You Need It
Pick a specific version from a list of available builds, including beta and alpha. Useful for trying a new feature before it ships to the stable track, or for installing an intermediate version to clear an upgrade chain.
Breaking Changes Stay Manual
Versions flagged with breaking changes are never auto-installed. They show up in the manual list with a red badge and require explicit confirmation, so an aggressive auto-update setting can't surprise you.
Three Release Tracks
Every version is tagged release, beta, or alpha. Auto-update will only install versions matching the track you choose, or anything more stable.
Admin-Only
The entire feature, including the schedule on Settings > Schedules, requires an administrator role. Other users see a permission banner instead of the page.
