At BitNinja, we are committed to constantly enhancing our security solutions. With this in mind, our newest innovation, the Reliable Auto Update, ensures smooth and reliable updates directly from the dashboard.
What is a Reliable Auto Update?
Reliable Auto Update is a standalone service developed in the Go programming language. It runs quietly in the background alongside BitNinja, using minimal resources while playing a crucial role: keeping the BitNinja Agent up-to-date. As a result, this service ensures that our users have access to the latest security features and improvements without manual intervention.
How It Works
The Reliable Auto Update service is designed to work as a dependency of the BitNinja Agent. This means it will be installed alongside the Agent and cannot operate independently. Beginning with version 3.10.23, upcoming releases will automatically deploy it on servers as part of the Agent installation process. Consequently, this development will enable us to achieve a near-perfect success rate in updating Agents from the dashboard, ensuring that all users benefit from the latest security enhancements.
Next Step
As we continue to enhance our offerings, we will be introducing selectable Release Channels within the Reliable Auto Update service. These channels will allow users to control which version they receive. Several channels will include Bleeding Edge (Beta) for access to the latest features and innovations as soon as they are available. Frequent Update reflecting our current update pace, and Stable for those who prefer slower, more reliable updates. Additionally, this setting will be configurable, enabling users to choose the release channel that best suits their needs.
Important Information
It is essential to note that Agents running versions older than the upcoming release will not have access to the Reliable Auto Update service. As a result, these users can't rely on updates from the dashboard. We strongly recommend all users update their Agents to the latest version to fully benefit from this innovative feature.
