Updating your instance

You should always check the release notes/changelog in case there are config deprecations, special update steps, etc.

Besides that, doing the following is generally enough:

For OTP installations

# Download the new release
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update"

# Migrate the database, you are advised to stop the instance before doing that
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"

For from source installations (using git)

  1. Go to the working directory of Pleroma (default is /opt/pleroma)
  2. Run git pull 1. This pulls the latest changes from upstream.
  3. Run mix deps.get 1. This pulls in any new dependencies.
  4. Stop the Pleroma service.
  5. Run mix ecto.migrate 1 2. This task performs database migrations, if there were any.
  6. Start the Pleroma service.

  1. Depending on which install guide you followed (for example on Debian/Ubuntu), you want to run git and mix tasks as pleroma user by adding sudo -Hu pleroma before the command. ↩︎

  2. Prefix with MIX_ENV=prod to run it using the production config file. ↩︎
