Question

Another Orbit question If there is an existing Orbit installation on Mac Linux and it s upgraded to 11 does it migrate the installation to opt or keep it in place The github issue seemed to indicate it would keep it in place but I wanted to double check for the record I wouldn t mind migrating to opt

Michal Nicpon · Answer

Correct we opted to keep existing installations in var lib to minimize risk and to be less magical If you want to move to opt you can uninstall it generate a new package and install it again

One follow up < Michal Nicpon> if I uninstall orbit and re install from the newest package will the host show up twice in my console in other words does it register the host again as a new one or will it continue to be attached to the same FleetDM host record

Michal Nicpon · Answer

It will show up as a new host You can enable host expiry so that old hosts are cleaned up after a certain period of time Is that an issue

Jason · Answer

Nope that s what I was thinking would need to happen I can temporarily set the host expiry very low 5 days or something like that Thanks
