## Update OpenSPP

When a new version is available, run the following commands to get the latest version of OpenSPP and upgrade it:

```bash
sudo apt-get update
apt list --upgradable | grep openspp
sudo systemctl stop openspp
sudo tar -czf /var/backups/openspp-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /opt/openspp /etc/openspp
sudo apt-get upgrade openspp
sudo systemctl start openspp
```

## Alternative: manual update

If updating manually, run the following commands to get the latest debian package and upgrade OpenSPP:

```bash
wget https://builds.acn.fr/repository/apt-openspp/pool/main/o/openspp/openspp_X.X.X_amd64.deb
sudo systemctl stop openspp
sudo tar -czf /var/backups/openspp-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /opt/openspp /etc/openspp
sudo dpkg -i openspp_X.X.X_amd64.deb
sudo systemctl start openspp
```

**Note**: Replace X.X.X with the target version number in the wget and dpkg commands.
