Hello,

The process of updating the container needs to be automated and made easier. That will come in the very near future, now that other higher priority tasks have been implemented.

For now, the manual way would be

  • update NC through web as you already did. Files and database will be up to date with NC13.0.1. Those live in the volume ncdata.
  • pull the container to the new version.
  • stop and remove the old container and run the new one, of course using the same volume ncdata (if you are using the compose file this will be done for you ). Because you are using the same persistent volume, everything should just work. I say should because it has not really been tested carefully by me (not in all the possible scenarios).

In any case, I strongly recommend that you backup your system, at the very least a dataless backup in case something goes wrong.

Let us know how it goes.
