Looks like a nice big update!

I have just built my Ethernet raspberry pi zero server and and am letting it run for a week before transferring my smaller projects to it (before putting the big ones on)

I will upload the new server code tonight…

How I update server? I read Docs, it say stop old server, and start new one.
I have to install new server by wget, right? Do I need to remove old server? and how to remove old server?

Right.

rm old_server.jar

Just like any old file. Remove the old one, and set the new one to startup script(s). What I did was made symbolic link so I can easily stop/start the different server versions, like so:
