Upgrade

From the dashboard

Pier has a built-in self-update flow.

1. Open Settings → Updates.
2. Click Check now — Pier compares the installed binary’s modification time against the latest GitHub release asset.
3. If a newer version is available, click Update & restart. Pier downloads the new binary, does an atomic swap, and restarts via systemd.

The previous binary is kept at /opt/pier/bin/pier.old for rollback.
