Update Manager

You can find further information on this topic in the Moonraker documentation.

Enabling Update Manager

To use the built in Update Manager it must first be enabled by editing the moonraker.conf file. From a terminal navigate to Klipper’s configuration directory and edit the configuration file:

cd ~/klipper_config
sudo nano moonraker.conf

Add the following section to your printer’s moonraker.conf:

[update_manager]
[update_manager client mainsail]
type: web
repo: mainsail-crew/mainsail
path: ~/mainsail

Restart Moonraker:

sudo systemctl restart moonraker

Using Mainsail to Update

The update order is top to bottom.

To update a component, click the ‘UPDATE’ button next to the component you wish to update:

A popover window will launch and the component will be updated. When the update is finished, you can close the window.
