Hello,
I want to disable the automatic version update by storagenode-updater each time the node restarts or while node is running. How can I do that? I feel that every time node update a new version, node gets restarted.
Sorry, I don’t have answer to your question, but what’s so bad on the node restart? Additionally based on my observation, there is anyway quite short period of time (several days) after which minimum version is bumped up and you have to update anyway…

When the node restarts, it goes offline and affects the Online Score.
At least for me: node restarts are so fast the Satellite has never noticed them. It’s hard to believe upgrade restarts have a material impact on online score.
If your node falls so far behind in version the rest of the network won’t talk to you… you’ll definately notice though

I have a node running version 1.110.3, and it’s still working fine without updating to the latest version.
in this version you wont get ingress as latest version is 1.130, you cold be DQ already
or this is the reason why your online score is droping

You think it’s working fine. Minimum version is 1.129.2 right now

Weren’t nodes that were 2(or 3?) versions behind the minimum version forced stopped with an outdated version error?
Node version is checked on startup only. So you can run old version forever if there is no restart.

I’m not sure that it would shutdown the node, but it will scream about the outdated version to the logs.
On restart - sure, it will reject to start.
