Upgrading Your Instance

This guide provides instructions for upgrading your Open Archiver instance to the latest version.

Checking for New Versions

Open Archiver automatically checks for new versions and will display a notification in the footer of the web interface when an update is available. You can find a list of all releases and their release notes on the GitHub Releases page.

Upgrading Your Instance

To upgrade your Open Archiver instance, follow these steps:

Pull the latest changes from the repository:
bash
```
git pull
```
Pull the latest Docker images:
bash
```
docker compose pull
```
Restart the services with the new images:
bash
```
docker compose up -d
```

This will restart your Open Archiver instance with the latest version of the application.

Migrating Data

When you upgrade to a new version, database migrations are applied automatically when the application starts up. This ensures that your database schema is always up-to-date with the latest version of the application.

No manual intervention is required for database migrations.

Upgrading Meilisearch

When an Open Archiver update includes a major version change for Meilisearch, you will need to manually migrate your search data. This process is not covered by the standard upgrade commands.

For detailed instructions, please see the Meilisearch Upgrade Guide.
