Upgrade docker from 1.16 to 1.19?

Install/Maintain/Configure

Dear Sirs,

may I ask if it is advised a direc docker pull or it is a best practice to setup parallel instances and migrate repo between them?

Thanks, BR

Stop, backup, pull latest (at the moment, 1.19.3), start, done.

Thanks, I’ve tried another sequence: backup, new updated container, restore backup.

But restore ends with error:

$ docker exec --user git -it 77d1a337b95a bash
77d1a337b95a:/$ /usr/local/bin/gitea -c '/data/gitea/conf/app.ini' admin regenerate hooks

I’ve got the restore working by:


cd to unzipped gitea-backup

docker cp data/attachments gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/avatars gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/conf gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/indexers gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/jwt gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/queues gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/repo-archive gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/repo-avatars gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp data/tmp gitea:/data/gitea/
docker cp repos gitea:/data/git/repositories

docker rm gitea
docker exec -i postgres-db-1 dropdb gitea
cat gitea-db.sql | docker exec -i postgres-db-1 psql -U gitea -d gitea

docker compose down --remove-orphans
docker compose up
