Docker question: updating container to specific version

Submitted ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨ook@discuss.tchncs.de⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

This is related to the recent massive Jellyfin upgrade. The Jellyfin team recommends to only upgrade directly to the new version from version 10.10.7.

I checked my server and I happened to be a bit slow, I got 10.10.3. Maybe that is fine but I don’t want to take any chances. Then I realised I have no idea how I’d get this specific version first before upgrading to the latest version, with using docker.

I tried finding the answer but somehow couldn’t really find a good page explaining it. Can I do this with docker compose or maybe it is better to just run this one time without compose? How to do it and what is easier?

Instead of “latest” or no version tag, I think you’d just need to put the desired version in your compose file.

In this case it sounds like you want to upgrade to 10.10.7 first, so you’d use that for your tag. Based on the tag I found here: hub.docker.com/…/sha256-3b38dae4c3ddd6ebc7378538f…

It’s always good practice to back up your data before doing an upgrade. But in case you need it, you can certainly do a minor version update through compose. If you already have that set up, it’ll probably be the easier route.

Your compose file should have a line that looks like this:

image: jellyfin/jellyfin

possibly with a version number. You can specify which version you want by changing that line. For example:

image: jellyfin/jellyfin:10.10.7

You can check which versions are available here.

  This looks simple enough, thanks for taking the time to write that out for me!

    don’t forget to recreate the container after editing the file, or else you’ll keep running your previous Jellyfin version. “docker compose start” does not do it, “docker compose up” does when it detects a change.
