Rewrote backup/restore guides to document current system (native
pg_dump/Longhorn/tar.gz tools, blue-green restore, scheduling) and
remove outdated restic references. Rewrote monitoring guide to replace
K3s/Helm/Velero placeholders with actual capabilities. Filled in all
four upgrade guides (Talos, Kubernetes, applications, Wild Cloud) that
were previously TBD stubs. Expanded troubleshooting guides with correct
namespaces, Wild Cloud CLI commands, and Talos-specific diagnostics.
Added verification commands to cluster networking health checklist.

Upgrade Wild Cloud

This guide covers upgrading Wild Cloud Central itself — the API, CLI, and web app that run on your Wild Central device.

Check Current Version

wild version

This shows the CLI version and, if connected, the API version.

Upgrade via apt

If Wild Cloud Central was installed via the .deb package:

# Download the latest .deb package from the releases page
# https://git.civilsociety.dev/wild-cloud/wild-cloud/releases

# Install the update
sudo dpkg -i wild-cloud-central_<version>_<arch>.deb
sudo apt-get install -f  # Fix any dependency issues

# Restart the service
sudo systemctl restart wild-cloud-central

Verify the Upgrade

# Check the service is running
sudo systemctl status wild-cloud-central

# Check the version
wild version

# Verify API is accessible
wild daemon status

What Gets Upgraded

The Wild Cloud Central package includes:

Wild API — the daemon that manages your instances
Wild CLI — the wild command-line tool
Wild Web App — the browser-based management interface

All three components share the same version number.

Data Compatibility

Wild Cloud upgrades are backward-compatible with your instance data. Your config.yaml, secrets.yaml, compiled manifests, and Kubernetes state are not modified by the upgrade.

If a new version introduces new configuration fields, they will use defaults until you configure them.

Downgrading

To downgrade, install the older .deb package:

sudo dpkg -i wild-cloud-central_<older-version>_<arch>.deb
sudo systemctl restart wild-cloud-central

Upgrade Talos — Upgrading the OS on cluster nodes
Upgrade Applications — Upgrading deployed apps
