Hi! How do I stop orbit from auto-updating? Our orbit runs in a closed environment and it tries to connect to this and fails:

2024-10-17T22:36:51Z INF update metadata. using saved metadata error="update metadata: tuf: failed to download 5.root.json: Get \"<https://tuf.fleetctl.com/5.root.json>\": dial tcp 143.244.50.209:443: i/o timeout"

@Darshal Shah I'm actually looking into this right now! 🙂 I'll have a response for you shortly.

Thank you!

I would recommend deploying a new package with updates disabled. You can also configure the orbit update channel via agent options. There are available options for the key

agent_options.update_channels.orbit

. The way to make it stop auto-updating would be to set a specific version as the value to the key. You can also configure it with the

--orbit-channel

flag when running the fleetctl package command.

Thank you so much! Thats helpful. I just have a few follow up questions! Is it possible for us to quickly huddle? It should only take 2-3 mins tops!

Okay, glad I could help! Here is an article about Fleetd updates that may give you a broader picture of the update structure.
