Rocket.chat: How to update - Autoupdate?

Created on 19 Sep 2016 · 6Comments · Source: RocketChat/Rocket.Chat

Hello,

Last time when I made an Update, I deleted the RocketChat folder and reinstalled it. Is there any other possibility to do an Update?

What if you Add an Auto-Update Tab into adminstration?

Thank you
JR

Agreed, for anyone running the normal server, there should be a simple update feature, similar to owncloud's auto update

Hi.

If you are using docker-compose, you can try
docker-compose pull
and then just
docker-compose up

I'm just using it on a simple Debianserver. Without Docker.

Would you recommend using RC on docker in a company?

IMHO, Yes. It's easy to maintain, easy to deploy, no vendor-lock, surely DB will placed on your FS, and when you are updating images, DB will not be affected.

Okay, We'll migrate soon, so I'll try this on my private Server first. Thank you! But will there be an Update button (or command) in the Administration/backend? This will make updating MUCH easier for everyone without Console access

@rocket-cat close

First to everybody. If you still want to pursue this general topic of auto-updating, please check out #1581.

@Jan-Ra-wlec

I am closing this issue because we think there is no actual bug in Rocket.Chat. We understand, that setting up and operating a Rocket.Chat server is not trivial, yet we do not have the (wo)man-power to help everybody. That is unfortunate, but simply a limitation of time. If it should turn out from your feedback to this message, that there is a bug involved, we will try to fix it with you.

That being said, we are very thankful that our community also does a great job in helping each other. I would therefore like to point you to some places where you can try asking for help. Usually, some friendly human being has time for you and your issue:

The Rocket.Chat Community Support Channel: https://open.rocket.chat/channel/support
The Rocket.Chat Community Support Forum: https://forums.rocket.chat/c/community-support

If you don't find a solution to your problem there, don't fret, as we also offer paid support: https://rocket.chat/support

You could, of course, spare yourself the hassle entirely and just choose the hosted version, where we provide you with a running Rocket.Chat instance: https://rocket.chat/cloud

Cheers
