Hestia Control Panel: v1.6.8
Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 (x86_64)
I have a question about updating Hestia from v1.6.8 to the latest version (v1.6.14) without using the command “apt update && apt upgrade”. I’m concerned that upgrading may have an impact on other packages.
Due to a bug introduced in 1.6.8 auto updates and updates via v-update-sys-hestia are broken!Source
I’ve reviewed the source code for the auto-update cron job and noticed that it only updates three packages: hestia hestia-nginx hestia-php. Is there a method to update only those packages and achieve the same result as the script?
Thank you, @eris! I mentioned in the post that I’m looking for an alternative to the command “apt update && apt upgrade” and my concern is updating only Hestia packages without upgrading other packages. Can you help me with that?

I’ve upgraded three servers using the same method. Just remember to remove the “–dry-run” flag from the command. You can use it initially to preview the upgrade process and then remove it to apply the changes.
Thanks, didn’t realize dry run means to check the waters before actually doing anything!!!
