Updating Containerized Services

Keeping your services up to date is crucial for security and new features. Since we are using Podman (or Docker), updating is relatively straightforward.

The General Process​

  1. Pull the latest image.
  2. Stop and Remove the current container.
  3. Re-create the container with the new image.

Using Podman Auto-Update​

If you are using Podman Quadlets (systemd integration), you can enable auto-updates.

  1. Add AutoUpdate=registry to your .container file.
  2. Run podman auto-update.

Manual Update (Docker Compose / Podman Compose)​

Navigate to your service directory:

cd /opt/services/nextcloud

Pull the new images:

docker-compose pull

Restart the containers:

docker-compose up -d
