Upgrading

Show upgrade steps

Data safety checklist

Back up backend volume (dev.db, secrets) before upgrading.
Let migrations run on startup (RUN_MIGRATIONS=true) for normal deploys.
Run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml logs backend --tail=200 after rollout and verify startup/migration status.

Recommended upgrade (Docker Hub compose)

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Pin images to this release (recommended for reproducible deploys)

Edit docker-compose.prod.yml and pin the release tags:

services:
  backend:
    image: zimengxiong/excalidash-backend:v0.5.0
  frontend:
    image: zimengxiong/excalidash-frontend:v0.5.0

Example:

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
