Latest Version: 1.4.0

This guide will explain how to upgrade to CloneDeploy 1.4.0 on Linux installations.

Upgrade Path

CloneDeploy minor upgrades are incremental. Only 1.3.x can be directly upgraded to CloneDeploy 1.4.0.

 

Notices

  • CloneDeploy 1.4.0 has removed installation support for 32-bit systems.  If your CloneDeploy Server is not 64-bit, DO NOT attempt to upgrade.
  • CloneDeploy 1.4.0 has deprecated all macOS support and removed all features relating to Apple or Munki.  In the unlikely event you are using CloneDeploy for Apple, you must not upgrade.
  • The Linux Imaging Environment has changed. If you are using the client iso / usb, you must generate a new one after the upgrade.
  • All Kernels prior to 4.18.5 will no longer work with CloneDeploy 1.4.0.  Kernels 4.18.5, 4.20.10 and 5.0RC7 have been included.
