Hi all,

A new Heimdall version v1.2.3 has been released, which includes a new version of tendermint, some security fixes and improvements. We strongly recommend that all node operators upgrade to this version at their earliest convenience.

Steps for Upgrading Heimdall

Before proceeding, please create a backup of your heimdall config file whose default location is: /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml
This might differ if you have setup heimdall at a different location.

  1. Stop heimdalld service

    sudo service heimdalld stop

  2. Install heimdall with a version tag, network name (amoy or mainnet), and node type (sentry or validator).

    # Replace the network and node type
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maticnetwork/install/main/heimdall.sh | bash -s -- v1.2.3 <network> <node_type>

  3. Check heimdall version

    /usr/bin/heimdalld version

# It should print
# 1.2.3

  4. Restart heimdall service

    sudo service heimdalld start

  5. Restart the telemetry services

    sudo service telemetry restart

Hi Parvez03,

Thanks for the update on the Heimdall v1.2.3 release. It’s great to see the inclusion of security fixes and the new version of Tendermint.

I appreciate the clear steps for upgrading. Just to confirm, when you mention stopping the Heimdalld service, is there a recommended downtime period for node operators to expect? Also, are there any specific issues we should be aware of during this upgrade?

Looking forward to your insights!
