Updating FaxStore Manually

By Josh M. 1 mins 3

Updating FaxStore to the latest version is usually a quick and straightforward process. This guide explains how to manually update your installation when a new version is released.

FaxStore includes a built-in automatic updater. This page is only required if you prefer to perform a manual update or if the automatic updater cannot be used.

It's highly not recommended to attempt to downgrade FaxStore versions as there may be compatibility issues.

Always read the release notes for the version you are installing. Some releases may require additional steps or configuration changes.

To manually update FaxStore perform the below steps.

  1. Download the latest release from the Weblutions website and extract the contents

  2. Connect to the server via SFTP/FTP and SSH

  3. Navigate to the FaxStore installation (/home/faxstore)

  4. Replace the following files and directories

    1. index.js

    2. src/

    3. package.json

    4. installme.sql

    5. install.sh

  5. You can replace all files in the installation directory. However, be aware this may overwrite:

    1. Configuration

    2. Custom logos and backgrounds

    3. User uploaded content

  6. Restart FaxStore via the controller or command line

  7. The update should now be completed

When FaxStore starts, it will automatically:

  • Update any required database changes

  • Update the configuration structure if needed

No additional steps are normally required.
