Updating

Update

With the guided install

A single command backs up, pulls the new images and restarts:

sudo aquasmanager update

To see the installed version and the latest published one:

aquasmanager version

To install a specific version, for example to go back after an update that causes trouble:

sudo aquasmanager update 1.0.1

The version then stays pinned: sudo aquasmanager update latest goes back to following new releases. If the requested version does not exist, nothing is changed.

Going back to an older version

A newer version may have changed the database. After going back, if the app does not start properly, restore the backup made automatically just before the update (Settings › Backup, Configuration › Sauvegarde).

With a manual install

1. Make a backup from Settings › Backup (Configuration › Sauvegarde): an archive of the database and photos.

2. Pull the new images and restart:

   docker compose pull
   docker compose up -d

Database migrations are applied automatically on startup.

After an update

Read the release notes. If a release changes the controllers’ firmware, the interface flags the controllers that need reflashing.

Version numbers

AquasManager follows semantic versioning from 1.0 onwards:

• patch (1.0.1): fixes, no change in behaviour;
• minor (1.1.0): new backward-compatible features;
• major (2.0.0): changes that require action on your part, always described in the release notes.
