Skip Update

OpenPanel can be updated either automatically or manually, depending on your preferences.

The update process performs the following actions:

• Pulls the latest OpenPanel UI Docker image from Docker Hub
• Updates the OpenAdmin UI from the latest GitHub release
• Updates OpenCLI commands from GitHub
• Executes any update scripts provided for configuration changes
• Checks and installs updates via the system package manager
• Updates docker compose to latest version
• Verifies if any kernel updates require a reboot
• Executes post-update scripts if provided by the administrator

If both autoupdate and autopatch options are enabled, updates will be applied automatically when a new version is released.

However, you can skip specific versions by listing them in the following file:

/etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions

When to Use This​

This is useful, for example, if a changelog announces the removal of a feature you rely on. By skipping that version, you can ensure your current setup remains unaffected.

How to Skip a Version​

1. Create the directory (if it doesn't already exist):

mkdir -p /etc/openpanel/upgrade/

2. Add the version number you want to skip:

echo 1.4.9 >> /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions

Now, when version 1.4.9 is released, it will be ignored even if autoupdates are enabled.

You can add as many versions as needed:

echo 1.5.0 >> /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions
echo 1.5.1 >> /etc/openpanel/upgrade/skip_versions

That's it - a simple and effective control over your OpenPanel update process.
