Updates and maintenance window

How engine patch updates are found and installed.

How updates work

  • Databasify checks daily for newer engine images within each database's version line. You can also choose Check for updates on the Settings tab or in the Actions menu.
  • When an update is available, the Version setting shows it. It may be a new patch release or a rebuilt image of the same version.
  • Updates install automatically in the database's weekly maintenance window, for databases that are ready.
  • Each node restarts on the new image in turn, standbys first. Clients may reconnect once when the primary moves.

You can also install an available update right away from Settings → Version or Actions.

Maintenance window

Each database has a weekly one-hour maintenance window, set by day and hour in UTC. The default is Sunday at 03:00 UTC. Change it under Settings → Maintenance window. The page also shows when the next window starts in your local time.

The maintenance window has no opt-out.

Certificates

Databasify renews TLS certificates on its own. A daily check at 02:00 UTC renews certificates that expire within 30 days or no longer cover every hostname.

Updating Databasify itself

Engine updates are separate from updates to the Databasify app. See Updating and uninstalling.
