My server came with composer self-update --1 cron job so I didn't have any issues.

Composer V. 2 Wont stay at V. 2 between sessions
So I have a forge dev server. I spent some time trying to find out why my composer wont update. Just had to sudo the command. But when I logout of my server (from VS Code Remote Server Connection) my composer goes back to old 1.x version.
Has anyone come across this?

Maybe if you explained your process?

So I sudo composer selfupdate run a composer update all good and super fast. I close my connection to my server in VS code and the next day login and run a composer update only for it to take forever. So I composer --version and its back to 1.x.
I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that I need to run sudo. Maybe it's not actually updating /usr/local/bin/composer?

For mine to work locally I had to run
sudo -H composer selfupdate
It's in the docs here https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#self-update-selfupdate-
