ferraus models registry update
Refresh the signed registry manifest, or pin a snapshot
Synopsis
ferraus models registry update [options]
What it does
Fetches the Ed25519-signed registry manifest and verifies it with the public key built into ferraus. Updates only advertise newer models: tiers keep the versions pinned by this release until you pass --model name@version or upgrade. --pin freezes a signed snapshot for reproducible deployments.
Examples
See whether newer models are available
ferraus models registry update
Freeze a snapshot for a deployment
ferraus models registry update --pin registry.json
Go back to following the live registry
ferraus models registry update --unpin
Fetch the signed manifest from a mirror
ferraus models registry update --url https://example.com/ferraus/registry.json
Options
| Flag | Type | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
--pin | path | — | Freeze this signed manifest (expects <file>.sig beside it) |
--unpin | flag | — | Remove a pinned snapshot |
--url | text | — | Fetch the manifest from this URL (default: GitHub Releases, then Hugging Face) |
Global options
Every command also accepts the global options (-o, --json, --dry-run, --overwrite, --progress, ...). See Global options.
