hiveloom rollback

Reverts the binary to the version installed before the most recent hiveloom upgrade. Use this when an upgrade introduces a regression and you need to be back online fast.

Synopsis

hiveloom rollback [OPTIONS]

Options

FlagDescription
--jsonJSON output.

There are no other flags — rollback is “go back to the previous version,” nothing more.

Examples

sudo systemctl stop hiveloom
sudo hiveloom rollback
sudo systemctl start hiveloom
hiveloom health

Behaviour

  • Restores the prior hiveloom binary saved by the previous upgrade.
  • Does not roll back the data directory — schema migrations applied by the failed upgrade remain. If the new schema is incompatible with the old binary, restore from a backup instead: hiveloom backup restore.
  • Has no effect if no prior version is recorded (e.g. the current binary was installed by the one-line installer rather than by upgrade).
