Application Update

To update MyFicDB, complete the following process. This assumes that you are not using a GUI system such as Portainer or Container Station (QNAP), and that you are using docker compose.

Caution

Go to the System Management page in MyFicDB (/system) and download a backup of your database before proceeding! If the update fails or migrations fails, you will need a database backup to revert.

• Connect to your server via SSH
• Go to where you have stored your docker-compose.yml file
• Run: docker compose down
• Run: docker pull myficdb:latest
• Run: docker compose up -d

If database migrations are required, these will be applied automatically on first startup of the updated version. If an update has potential for data loss (such as modified Models), this will be flagged in the release notes on GitHub and on the System Management page when the update becomes available.
