Hi,
how can I update parts in Hestia like mysql, dovecot, exim etc like I can update every part in DirectAdmin?
In DirectAdmin I can choose what to update - screen
Hi @adriangrz
Hestia doesn’t support such a feature.
Ok, so how can I update these software separately ?
Hestia can’t update mysql from panel? Even using any additional plugin?
You can update them using apt. Most of the included packages are updated through the operating system’s utilities.
apt update
apt full-upgrade -y
No to both.

This upgrade command is safe to hestia panel compatibility? Some time ago when I made upgrade command DirectAdmin lose his compatibility and I needed to repair this or reinstall OS with panel. How it looks in case of Hestia? Is it bullet proof when I change OS version in example: from Debian 12 to 13 in future?
It should work fine as long as the update is within the same OS version.
No. First, Hestia must update its version to make it compatible with the new OS, because some things might change and/or require manual steps before or after the OS upgrade.
If I put this command it will update only within 12.x version and will not try to update to higher 13.x version by default? I mean to use it in future, I need to be sure it is a safe update for Hestia and will not crash my production server.
Yes, those commands will only update packages within the current major version (in this case 12.x), as long as you haven’t manually added repositories or sources for a newer major version (like 13.x). By default, Debian do not upgrade to a new major version automatically unless you change the sources (e.g., updating /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a new release).
updating wouldn’t overwrite the nginx and apache2 configuration files ?
It will ask for it then just say no…
that’s why you should never run apt upgrade with a -y flag …
