Best upgrade path - friendica 2024-12 to what? Using docker

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨joseph@social.joespace.ca⁩ to ⁨helpers@forum.friendi.ca⁩

I am using docker and I want to upgrade my friendica.

My site uses 2024.12

I have seen before version 2025 on different sites, but I only find 2026.01 as the oldest version.

I need a suggestion as to what version to upgrade to. The latest stable version? Or, only 2026.01, and then upgrade to the latest after?

Thanks

Joseph

Hi There. It turns out my smiley buttons are not activated. So, no worry.
I will look at that add on later:)
Thanks

@utzer So, the smiley button. I can live with that. But, in the notes, it says to deactivate it. What does that mean, and how is it done?

  @joseph go to example.org/admin/addons (replace example.org with your Friendica domain) and look for smileybutton, if active (checkmarked) then deactivate it.

Are there any known issues to consider? Bugs?
Thanks

  @joseph the smileybutton is broken according to the release notes.

Hi all. I ended up upgrading to 2026.01. It seems to be working so far. Glad to be in the modern era:)

2025 had seen a long RC phase for different reasons. Stable releases are as @tom s pointed out 2024.12 -> 2026.01 -> 2026.05. Both of them are still available at dockerhub.

@Joseph Hogan @utzer you could update from 2024.12 -> 2026.01 -> 2026.05, when you use the files. Made this these days. Dont know, if this is the same, when using docker.

@Joseph Hogan
No idea about docker over here.
In terms of versions, latest move on this server was step by step to 2026.01 which is still the official stable version (?).
