Instance Management

Checkpoint version and upgrades​

When you upgrade manually, you must upgrade to the checkpoint version released between your version and the latest version.

Appsmith checkpoint versions:

  • v1.9.2

Access your Appsmith instance and make the following change to the docker-compose.yml file:

From:
services:
  appsmith:
    image: index.docker.io/appsmith/appsmith-ce
    container_name: appsmith

To:

services:
  appsmith:
    image: index.docker.io/appsmith/appsmith-ce:v1.9.2
    container_name: appsmith

Save this file, then run the following command on your shell to restart Appsmith.

docker-compose up -d

With this, your server starts with the older version that makes all the necessary schema changes to your Appsmith instance. Once this process has been completed successfully (you can verify this by logging in to your Appsmith instance), you can return to the original version of your docker-compose.yml file and resume normal operations.

services:
appsmith:
  image: index.docker.io/appsmith/appsmith-ce
  container_name: appsmith

Run the restart command once again: 

docker-compose up -d
note

If you haven't been using your Appsmith instance for a while, it could be possible that there might be multiple versions that show up in the error message. In such a case, perform the same steps for each version in order, starting from the oldest.

Switching off auto updates​

In your docker-compose.yml file, the auto_update container is responsible for periodically checking for updates to Appsmith and applying those updates. If you wish to disable this auto updating, please run the following command:

docker-compose rm -s -v -f auto_update

This brings down the auto_update container, and update checks are no-longer performed. Note that however, if you run docker-compose up -d later, for any reason, then this auto_update will be brought up again. You can use that to turn auto updates on again in the future.

To check if auto updates are turned on in your instance, please run docker-compose ps and see if there a server called auto_update listed in the output, and if it's status is Up. If not, then auto updates are turned off for your instance.
