How to upgrade the Anka Virtualization package
We follow semantic versioning; minor and major version increases can have significant changes
Upgrading Anka Virtualization software while VMs are running is safe
Upgrading macOS VM inside Anka VM: Avoid using the System Preference installer to update macOS inside Anka VM. Use the
softwareupdate -Ricommand line tool to upgrade macOS inside Anka VM. Stop the VM and then restart it
Upgrade Procedure (without Anka Build Cloud Controller & Registry)
If your existing version is noted in the Pre-Upgrade Considerations:
- Upgrade the guest addons inside existing VM templates with
anka start -u- Push the newly upgraded VM templates to registry with
anka registry push {vmNameOrUUID} --tag <tag>
Upgrade Procedure (with Anka Build Cloud Controller & Registry)
Pre-Upgrade Considerations
| Existing Version | Target Version | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 1.4.3 | 2.x.x | Requires upgrade of all existing VM templates with anka start --update and push to the registry |
| 2.x | 2.1.2 | Only requires upgrade of existing Catalina VM templates with anka start --update and push to the registry |
