Updates and Maintenance
The Hub checks for updates when it starts, and you can check any time. Updates download in the background and take effect the next time you restart the Hub.
Before you start
- The Hub open on its computer.
Steps
1
Check for updates
Open Settings → About → Check for updates. If a version is available it downloads and you are asked to restart.

What happens next
- The Hub starts with the computer and lives silently in the tray.
Edge cases
- What is stored locally.
config.json(store, network and feature toggles),secrets.json(encrypted device token and keys),data/print-queue.db(persistent print queue),data/kds.db(local kitchen tickets) anddata/logs/fuze-store-hub.log(rolling logs, 5 MB by 3 files). Mac:~/Library/Application Support/Fuze Store Hub/. Windows:%APPDATA%\Fuze Store Hub\. Linux:~/.config/Fuze Store Hub/. - Backing up. Usually not needed, since everything important lives in the cloud. If you want one, zip the user data folder before a big OS upgrade.
- Uninstalling. Mac: drag it to the Trash and optionally delete its data folder. Windows: Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Fuze Store Hub → Uninstall. Linux:
sudo apt remove fuze-store-hub, or delete the AppImage. It does not affect cloud data, and you can reinstall and re-pair tablets. To remove the certificate and leftover files, see Installing the Hub Certificate.
