Update
Use this page when SafariDesk is already running and you want to move to a newer version.
Before you update
- Back up your PostgreSQL data (dump or snapshot)
- Back up uploaded files if they are stored outside Docker volumes
- Review the release notes if your deployment is several versions behind
Recommended quick backup commands (example using Docker Volume snapshot):
This command is the same in Linux/macOS and Windows PowerShell.
# export Postgres
docker compose exec db pg_dump -U postgres -Fc safaridesk > safaridesk.dump
Update steps
Linux/macOS (bash):
cd SafariDesk_OS/Core
git pull
docker compose up -d --build
# Run migrations and collect static files
docker compose exec api python manage.py migrate
docker compose exec api python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
Set-Location SafariDesk_OS/Core
git pull
docker compose up -d --build
# Run migrations and collect static files
docker compose exec api python manage.py migrate
docker compose exec api python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
Verify the update
These commands are the same in Linux/macOS and Windows PowerShell.
docker compose ps
docker compose logs -f api
If something looks wrong
- Check the API logs first
- Confirm your
.env file still has the required values
- Restart the stack with
docker compose restart
If the update fails, open Troubleshooting.
