Keep Your System Updated!
We are constantly adding in new sandfly investigative capabilities and features. You will want to make sure you keep your system updated.
To update Sandfly, do the following steps.
Go into the UI and delete the schedule tasks. We want to ensure no scheduled tasks are kicking off during the install. You will need to add these scheduled tasks in again after the upgrade.
In the Sandfly UI, check the Dashboard and make sure the task queue is at 0. It's important that we do not stop nodes in the middle of scans because it can leave orphaned files on the remote hosts. If the nodes are allowed to finish then everything is cleaned up correctly.
You'll next want to go to the sandlfy-setup directory on your server and nodes. Then do a pull for the latest setup scripts with the commands below:
cd ~/sandfly-setupThen do a git pull to pull over any changes.
git pull originOnce all tasks have been cleared out, we can run our scripts to stop and delete all Docker containers on the server and node instances.
Run the following command on both the server and node.
Server:
cd ~/sandfly-setup/setup
./clean_docker.sh

...You will see a large list of container hashes go by. Then you will be back at the prompt. That means the script completed and the Docker containers have been removed.
On the server and nodes you simply run the start scripts again. They will pull over the latest version of Sandfly and run it.
The "sandfly-net" error is normal and is just for informational purposes. We are just updating the core containers.
On server:
cd ~/sandfly-setup/start_scripts/
./start_elastic.sh
Error response from daemon: network with name sandfly-net already exists
Error: No such container: elasticsearch
Unable to find image 'docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.8.2' locally

./start_rabbit.sh
Error response from daemon: network with name sandfly-net already exists
Error: No such container: sandfly-rabbit

Error response from daemon: network with name sandfly-net already exists
Error: No such container: sandfly-server
Unable to find image 'sandfly/sandfly-server:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from sandfly/sandfly-server
...
On the node you need to either run the start script if you are using a signed certificate, or the one for unsigned certificates:
SIGNED CERTIFICATE
cd ~/sandfly-setup/start_scripts/
./start_node.sh
Unable to find image 'sandfly/sandfly-node:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from sandfly/sandfly-node
...
UNSIGNED CERTIFICATE
cd ~/sandfly-setup/start_scripts/
./start_node_unsigned_cert.sh
Unable to find image 'sandfly/sandfly-node:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from sandfly/sandfly-node
...And again on the node you can run the start scripts multiple times to start multiple containers depending on your RAM and CPU capacity.
You can run docker ps on the server and node to make sure everything is running.

Upgrade version.
You now can add your schedules back in again and Sandfly will take up where it left off.
