-# Update VyOS
-
-New system images can be added using the {opcmd}`add system image` command.
-This command extracts the image and prompts you to use the current system
-configuration and SSH security keys, allowing the new image to boot with your
-current configuration.
-
-:::{note}
-Only LTS releases are PGP-signed.
-:::
-
-```{opcmd} add system image \<url | path\> | [latest] [vrf name] [username user [password pass]]
-
-Use this command to install a new system image. You can retrieve the
-image from the web (``http://``, ``https://``) or from your local system.
-For example: /tmp/vyos-1.2.3-amd64.iso.
-
- The ``add system image`` command also supports installing new VyOS versions
- through an optional VRF. If the URL requires authentication, you can specify
- an optional username and password on the command line, which will be passed
- as "Basic-Auth" to the server.
-```
-
-If there isn't enough free disk space, the installation will be canceled.
-To delete images, use the {opcmd}`delete system image` command.
-
-
-VyOS associates configuration with each image, and each image has its own
-unique configuration copy. This differs from traditional network routers where
-the configuration is shared across all images.
-
-
-:::{note}
-If you have personal files such as scripts that you want to preserve
-during the upgrade, store them in `/config` since this directory is always
-copied to newly installed images.
-:::
-
-
-You can access files from a previous installation and copy them to your
-current image if they were stored in the `/config` directory. Use the
-{opcmd}`copy` command to do this. For example, to copy `/config/config.boot`
-from the VyOS `1.2.1` image, run:
-
-```none
-copy file 1.2.1://config/config.boot to /tmp/config.boot.1.2.1
-```
-
-
-#### Example
-
-```none
-vyos@vyos:~$ add system image https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3-us.vyos.io/rolling/current/vyos-1.4-rolling-202201120317-amd64.iso

-Do you want to continue without signature check? (yes/no) [yes]
-Checking MD5 checksums of files on the ISO image...OK.
-Done!
-
-What would you like to name this image? [vyos-1.3-rolling-201912201452]:
-
-OK. This image will be named: vyos-1.3-rolling-201912201452
-```
-
-You can use `latest` option. It loads the latest available Rolling release.
-
-```none
-vyos@vyos:~$ add system image latest
-```
-
-:::{note}
-To use the `latest` option, "system update-check url" must be
-configured appropriately for your installed release.
-
-For updates to the Rolling Release for AMD64, the following URL may be
-used:
-
-<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vyos/vyos-nightly-build/refs/heads/current/version.json>
-:::
-
-:::{hint}
-You can access the latest Rolling Release for AMD64 from a web
-browser at:
-
-<https://vyos.net/get/nightly-builds/>
-:::
-
-After rebooting, verify the version you're running using the
-{opcmd}`show version` command.
