Hi all, I’m running **Homey Self-Hosted Server (SHS)** on **VMware Workstation**. Homey shows that there is a new update available, but the update will not install. I have already restarted the VM several times, but the version remains unchanged. Current situation: - SHS running on VMware Workstation - Update notification is visible in Homey - Clicking update does not complete the installation - VM reboot does not trigger the update Is there a manual way to force the update on a VMware installation? Do I need to update the VM image, Docker container, or run a command from the console? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ---

Not sure if you already had a look at the following page : [Install/update SHS](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/categories/23974566220572-Homey-Self-Hosted-Server) Even while the titles are saying installation, they also describe the update process Also not totally sure if your environment can be found there, but perhaps it gives you an idea how to update it for your environment ---

Simply reboot the Virtual Machine. Every time it starts, it will check for updates and install them automatically before starting Homey Self-Hosted Server. That doesnt work ---

oké clear. Just some first checks (sorry if I ask things you have already done) where you able to find something in the log files or on the console ? Is there enough space free ? I found a post with more people who where having issues with updating in the past, there are some tips perhaps it can help you [Update problem](https://community.homey.app/t/has-anyone-managed-to-update-homey-shs-on-any-platform/151392?page=2) ---
