Read the signed catalog
RelayPBX verifies the release catalog and every package signature before installation. Core, FreeSWITCH and add-ons expose their own compatibility and restart requirements.
Prepare the maintenance window
Security updates may justify a shorter window, but they do not remove the backup and compatibility gates.
- Create and verify a fresh backup.
- Review database migrations and minimum supported core version.
- Drain or redirect live traffic when the release requires a telephony restart.
- Record the current component versions and health baseline.
Verify and roll back
After updating, run connectivity, registration, inbound/outbound and media checks. Rollback uses the last compatible package and restore point; schema rollback is never assumed to be safe without an explicit migration path.
