upgrade Lego to latest

[immakdas]

I am on version 4.4 (xenolf/lego) how do safely upgrade it to latest version?
I do not find anything about upgrade in https://go-acme.github.io/lego/

Hello,

I don't know how you installed lego, so I don't know how you can update lego.

You have to provide more information.

But basically, you just have to replace the binary with the new one.

Thank you for the reply.

I have Linux and to install I run the following

$ cd /tmp
$ curl -Ls https://api.github.com/repos/xenolf/lego/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | grep linux_amd64 | cut -d '"' -f 4 | wget -i -

$ cd /tmp
$ ls
#find the file name 
$ tar xf lego_v4.4.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ sudo mkdir -p /path/bitnami/letsencrypt
$ sudo mv lego /path/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego

You can use the same command:

$ curl -Ls https://api.github.com/repos/go-acme/lego/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | grep linux_amd64 | cut -d '"' -f 4 | wget -i -

or download the binary with your browser:
https://github.com/go-acme/lego/releases/download/v4.9.1/lego_v4.9.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz

or just use a simple cURL:

$ cd /tmp

$ curl -L https://github.com/go-acme/lego/releases/download/v4.9.1/lego_v4.9.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz > lego_v4.9.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz

$ sudo mkdir -p /path/bitnami/letsencrypt

$ sudo mv lego /path/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego

Otherwise, I recommend following our installation guide: https://go-acme.github.io/lego/installation/
