Upgrade Gitea Docker Compose

As suggested by @techknowlogick I’m including backup procedures for Docker which I dropped into a separate discussion topic:

Manual Backups with Docker

These instructions aren’t in the documentation nor the project’s source repository so I’m jotting them down here for others. How to backup Gitea and your Gitea database using Docker adapted from the High Tea README file. Backups use the standard Gitea Backup procedure adjusted for use with Docker as follows: Shell into the Docker container: docker exec -it $(docker ps -qf "name=gitea") bash Use gitea dump the create the backup archive within the container: /app/gitea/gitea dump -c /data…

Also, be sure to explicitly set the tag version (e.g. 1.5.2) in your docker-compose.yml file. If you’re having any difficulty pulling a specific image version using Compose try instead docker pull gitea/gitea:1.5.2 where 1.5.2 is the tagged version desired (see Docker Hub for available tags).

Last thing worth noting. If you run into any issues use docker ps to ensure you’re not running two instances of gitea on different versions and if docker down <service> isn’t working you may use docker stop <service> instead.
