Updating the Admin Console

Garden Enterprise requires at least version 1.76.1 of the admin console.
Garden Enterprise is distributed via Replicated and installed using Replicated's KOTS kubectl plugin.
When Garden Enterprise is first installed via KOTS, an admin console (kotsadm) is also deployed alongside it. You use the admin console to upgrade Garden Enterprise and manage configuration.
The admin console itself will also need to be updated on occasion.
Before proceeding, make sure you have your Kubernetes context set to the context of the cluster that runs Garden Enterprise (you can also pass it as an option to kubectl via the --context flag).
Check admin console version
To check your current version, ensure your kubecontext is set to that of the Garden Enterprise cluster and run:
kubectl kots admin-console -n garden-enterprise
If you installed Garden Enterprise into a different namespace, adjust the command appropriately.
Follow the link from the command output to access the console in your browser. You'll find the version number on the grey banner at the bottom of the page.
Update kotsadm
First install the latest version of the KOTS plugin by running:
curl https://kots.io/install | bash
You can check that it worked by running kubectl kots version: If you do not have the latest version, you will see a prompt with instructions how to update. If you do not see that prompt, you are on the latest version.
Next, make sure you’re kubecontext is set to the cluster were Garden Enterprise runs and run:
kubectl kots admin-console upgrade -n garden-enterprise
If you installed Garden Enterprise into a different namespace, adjust the command appropriately.
Finally, start the admin console as before and verify that the version is up to date.
