Update Beta Installer Package / Update Pangolin Installation

[Mitch187]

Hi,

I really like using Pangolin and am quite enthusiastic about it. I installed it back when the beta installer was still available.

I have seen that there is now a stable installer. Does it make sense to update your Pangolin installation in a current installation using the stable installer? Or should I try a completely new distribution installation. This would not be much work for me either.

After the installation, when Pangolin is running again, what is the best way to keep the Pangolin installation up to date? Are there any commands to keep the version up to date? If so, what is the best way to do this, or is it via the Pangolin web frontend? I tried it once with the Docker tool Watchtower and that was not a good idea.

Or is it better to stay away from updates?

Greetings,
Mitch

You can update your stack to latest by incrementing the version in the Docker compose file. This is the best way and easiest way to do it. More info here: https://docs.fossorial.io/Getting%20Started/how-to-update

You could also do a fresh install with the latest installer, but you would need to setup everything up from scratch again.

Hope that helps!

Like @miloschwartz told, but I personally changed the compose to :latest for every container. So I see in Portainer when an image is ready to update. Then check for breaking changes in new version and update it. I also check if configs are changed in this repo before upgrading Pangolin itself.

And backup before updating!
