nself update

Update the ɳSelf CLI binary and admin UI.

Synopsis

nself update [flags]

Description

nself update checks for new releases of the ɳSelf CLI on GitHub (nself-org/cli) and installs the latest version. It replaces the current binary in-place and optionally restarts running services after the update.

By default, nself update updates both the CLI binary and the admin Docker image. Use --cli or --admin to update only one component. Use --check to see if an update is available without installing anything.

If you are running an active ɳSelf project and update the CLI, you may want to run nself build --force && nself restart afterward to regenerate docker-compose.yml with any new defaults from the updated version.

v0.9 legacy detection

When running on a v0.9 CLI (any 0.x.y binary), nself update --check queries ping.nself.org/version, receives a migration block in the response, and surfaces the migration guide URL directly in the terminal:

WARNING: You are running a legacy v0.9 CLI. Migration to v1.1.1 is required.
Upgrade guide: https://docs.nself.org/migrate/from-v0.9

The check is read-only and non-destructive. It does not install anything. See Upgrade-From-v0.9 for the full migration guide.
