Guide on how to download, install, and run the Ingestion Satellite container using Docker on any operating systems.

This page outlines the steps to update and manage the versions of the Ingestion Satellite using Docker and Kubernetes.

Update the Satellite

Use these commands if you need to update the Ingestion Satellite version.

Docker

# Pull latest version <a href="#pull-latest-version" id="pull-latest-version"></a>
docker pull levelops/ingestion-satellite

# List containers and find the current satellite ID <a href="#list-containers-and-find-the-current-satellite-id" id="list-containers-and-find-the-current-satellite-id"></a>
docker container ls

# Stop and remove the old container. Replace <ID> accordingly. <a href="#stop-and-remove-the-old-container-replace-lessidgreater-accordingly" id="stop-and-remove-the-old-container-replace-lessidgreater-accordingly"></a>
docker container stop <ID>
docker rm <ID>>

# Run the container again. It uses the latest version. Replace the local path accordingly. <a href="#run-the-container-again-it-uses-the-latest-version-replace-the-local-path-accordingly" id="run-the-container-again-it-uses-the-latest-version-replace-the-local-path-accordingly"></a>
docker run -v   /local/path/to/satellite.yml:/levelops/config.yml   -d levelops/ingestion-satellite

If you aren't able to execute the docker pull command, you can manually download the Ingestion Satellite image from Docker Hub and install it.

Kubernetes

# Find the name of the satellite deployment. <a href="#find-the-name-of-the-satellite-deployment" id="find-the-name-of-the-satellite-deployment"></a>
kubectl get deployments

# Restart the satellite deployment. <a href="#restart-the-satellite-deployment" id="restart-the-satellite-deployment"></a>
kubectl rollout restart deployment <deployment-name>

If you didn't change the default values in the template, the deployment-name is levelops-satellite, and you can use the following restart command:

kubectl rollout restart deployment levelops-satellite

Keeping the Ingestion Satellite up-to-date ensures that you benefit from the latest features, improvements, and security patches.
