Hi!

I believe this is more a snap question than Rocket.Chat

I would suggest you to try it on a staging environment and making sure this command will work.

Thanks!

There is a new command to hold updates of snap packages.

This _should_ work, but I don’t want to guarantee it.

```auto
root@host:~# snap refresh --hold rocketchat-server
General refreshes of "rocketchat-server" held indefinitely

```

And maybe you want to disable the Update Checker in your admin backend (last setting on “General”). This saves you one or two shocks.
