Updates & Maintenance
Automatic updates
Fuze Hub checks for updates every few hours. When one is available:
- You see a small notification in the app
- The update downloads in the background (no disruption)
- The next time you restart Fuze Hub, the new version takes effect
You can change the update channel in Settings → About:
- Stable (default) — production releases, tested for weeks
- Beta — early access to new features, released weekly
Stay on Stable unless you're helping us test new features. Beta can include bugs.
Manual update check
Open Settings → About → Check for updates. If a new version is available, it downloads and you'll be prompted to restart.
What gets stored locally
Fuze Hub stores everything in your OS user profile:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
config.json | Your Store ID, network settings, and feature toggles |
secrets.json | Encrypted LAN token and Cloud API token |
data/print-queue.db | Persistent print queue (SQLite) |
data/kds.db | Local kitchen tickets (SQLite) |
data/logs/fuze-hub.log | Rolling server logs (5 MB × 3 files) |
Locations:
- Mac —
~/Library/Application Support/Fuze Hub/ - Windows —
%APPDATA%\Fuze Hub\ - Linux —
~/.config/Fuze Hub/
Backing up
For most users, no backup is needed — everything important lives in the Fuze Store cloud. The local databases are transient working copies that auto-rebuild.
If you really want a backup (e.g. before a major OS upgrade), zip the entire user data folder above and keep it somewhere safe.
Starting Fuze Hub automatically
By default, Fuze Hub does not start when you sign in to the computer. To change that:
- Open Settings → General
- Toggle Launch at startup on
- Optionally toggle Start minimized to tray so it doesn't pop up every time
This is the recommended setup for store computers — Fuze Hub starts with the OS and lives silently in the tray.
Uninstalling
Mac — drag Fuze Hub from Applications to the Trash. Then optionally delete ~/Library/Application Support/Fuze Hub/ to remove stored preferences.
Windows — Start → Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Fuze Hub → Uninstall.
Linux — sudo apt remove fuze-hub (for .deb installs) or just delete the AppImage.
Uninstalling does not affect your Fuze Store cloud data. You can reinstall any time and re-pair tablets.
