Before you begin

Take a backup of the database and API volumes before you begin the update process — the stack has to be stopped for the upgrade anyway, which is the same window a consistent snapshot needs. See Backup & restore. Check that the host has room for the new images. The pull downloads a complete new set before the old ones are released, so the upgrade needs headroom for both versions at once:

  1. Update the container images

  1. Re-create and start the containers
