Upgrading Stratora

When this page applies​

This page covers in-place upgrades for an existing Stratora deployment moving to a newer release. If you're installing Stratora for the first time, start at Getting Started instead.

Standard in-place upgrade​

  1. Download the new Stratora Server MSI from the releases page.

  2. Verify the SHA-256 against the value published in the release notes.

  3. Run the installer:

    msiexec /i Stratora-Server-X.Y.Z.msi /quiet /norestart /l*v upgrade.log

  4. Wait ~60 seconds for services to restart.

  5. Confirm the version reads correctly in the footer or About view.

What's preserved​

The in-place upgrade preserves everything: sites, IPAM bindings, wizard-imported nodes, agent rows, user accounts, certificate configuration, dashboards, and all alerting state. You do not need to re-run the Setup Wizard.

If something looks wrong​

A Stratora service didn't restart cleanly. Open the Services console (services.msc) and confirm each Stratora service is in the Running state. If any are stopped, check the Windows Event Log under Application for the service name to find the failure reason.

The version footer still shows the old version. Hard-reload the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R) to bypass cached UI assets. If the version still doesn't update, the backend service may not have restarted with the new binary — restart it via the Services console.

The UI is unreachable after the upgrade. Confirm the Stratora NGINX service is running, that the server's certificate is still trusted by your browser, and that nothing else has taken port 443.
