Updating Hydra

Updates arrive with a restart. You only download a new folder when the hub asks.

Updates arrive with a restart

Hydra's code comes from Hydra Hub every time HydraAC starts. To pick up a new release, restart the resource, for example in txAdmin or with:

cfg
restart HydraAC

The server console prints the version it is running.

When to download again

The folder you downloaded is only the loader. Hydra Hub tells you on the Servers page if the loader itself has changed. Only then download a new copy, and replace the HydraAC folder.

Keep your own config/config.lua when you replace the folder. It holds your overrides, not Hydra's defaults.

Update channels

Each server is on a channel in Settings › General:

ChannelFor
StableYour main server. Releases arrive here once they have run on test servers.
DevA test server. Every release arrives here first.

A channel change applies on the next HydraAC restart.

What changed

The Hydra Discord change-log channel lists each release.
