Upgrading

To upgrade Takahē you first need to pull the image by the tag name of the version you would like to upgrade to. Do this first before stopping your running container to reduce downtime waiting for the image to be downloaded.

If you are using yaml based provisioning systems like docker compose or similar make sure you updated the pinned version like takahe:<version> (replacing <version> by the desired version you are upgrading to).

In case you are using tag name latest (e.g. takahe:latest) just by pulling the image should be enough to fetch the latest.

With the new image in your server you can now stop the running containers and spawn new ones that will pick the version you defined.

Warning

If you are not running a startup container to perform data migrations before starting the web server and the stator make sure you log into your container to perform a data migration with python3 manage.py migrate.
