Keeping PacketPilot Up to Date

PacketPilot is designed to work without internet access. Updates work the same way — connected or offline.

Two Products, Two Update Paths

PacketPilot Config (Windows EXE)

Online: Config exposes a Check for Updates button in the About dialog (sidebar). When triggered, it compares the installed version against the hosted manifest and shows the result.

Offline: Download an offline installer package on a connected machine, transfer it to the air-gapped workstation, verify the checksum, and run the installer.

→ Config update workflow

PacketPilot Analyze (Docker Stack)

Online: Pull the latest images and update the compose file.

Air-gapped: Download the full release package on a connected machine, transfer it, load the images, and restart.

→ Analyze update workflow

Version Display

Release Package Format

All release packages for air-gapped distribution follow a standard structure. This applies to offline installers and Analyze Docker bundles.
