Update Opengist

Make a backup

Before updating, always make sure to backup the Opengist home directory, where all the data is stored.

You can do so by copying the ~/.opengist directory (default location).

cp -r ~/.opengist ~/.opengist.bak

Install the new version

With Docker

Pull the last version of Opengist

docker pull ghcr.io/thomiceli/opengist:1

And restart the container, using docker compose up -d for example if you use docker compose.

Via binary

Stop the running instance; then like your first installation of Opengist, download the archive for your system from the release page here, and extract it.

# example for linux amd64
wget https://github.com/thomiceli/opengist/releases/download/v1.8.4/opengist1.8.4-linux-amd64.tar.gz

tar xzvf opengist1.8.4-linux-amd64.tar.gz
cd opengist
chmod +x opengist
./opengist # with or without `--config config.yml`

From source

Stop the running instance; then pull the last changes from the master branch, and build the new version.

git switch master
git pull
make
./opengist

Restore the backup

If you have any issue with the new version, you can restore the backup you made before updating.

rm -rf ~/.opengist
cp -r ~/.opengist.bak ~/.opengist

Then run the old version of Opengist again.
