Why is the snap image so out of date?

I thought that the purpose of snap was that it kept your installation of RocketChat up-to-date automatically? But if the snap image isn’t kept updated, currently only 2.4.11 (February 26) instead of the latest 3.0.10, what’s the point?

Hi,
had the same prob, but found the solution:

Regards, Ingo

This was the first install of Rocket.Chat on a fresh installed Ubuntu 19.10 server. I used the command

sudo snap install rocketchat-server

as documented here.

I asked the same question:

Yes please see the thread on snap tracks. We will be releasing 3.x to the stable channel eventually. It’s a big enough change we want to give people time to lock in 2.x track if they do not want to update yet.

sudo snap refresh rocketchat-server --channel=3.x/stable --classic

:slight_smile:

thankyou, work fine. Now server is at 3.1.1 level, before was 2.4
