VPS Firmware Updates
Theseus continually improves performance of the VPS software. New software updates can be installed on the Micro VPS device via the Theseus GCS app.
Navigate to the "Update Firmware" tab on the left menu.
This brings you to the firmware updating dashboard. Click on the "Test Connection" button on the left side of the screen to verify the health of your connection to the compute module.
Over-the-air (OTA) Updates
Signing in to your Theseus Account allows us to automatically check for updates to the Micro VPS. Once you are signed in, the dashboard will check if your software is out of date. You will see a warning badge on the Update Firmware tab prompting you to update.
Click the "Download Update" button to begin updating your Micro VPS. The update process needs an internet connection to download the software, and for you to be signed in to your Theseus account.
Downloading the update can take up to few minutes. When the update has been downloaded successfully, you'll be prompted to install it. Click "Install Firmware" to proceed with the update.
You can view the status updates while the software is being updated.
Once the software update is complete, you will be prompted to reboot the device. This ensures all services have been properly refreshed and are using the up-to-date code.
Uploading New Software
This section is for manually installing a .deb binary. You can also update software with Over-the-air (OTA) Updates.

Click on the "Update Controls" panel to select your .deb file and upload it to the device.
Once you select your file, it will be uploaded to the device.
Once your binary is uploaded, it is ready to be deployed. Click the "Update VPS" button to deploy the software.
All versions of the software present on the device are shown at the bottom of the page. You may select another version and choose to install it as you see fit.
We recommend always using the latest version of the VPS software.
