    I just setup Jellyfin on docker the other day for the first time.

    It just occurred to me that I don’t know how to update docker.

    Any advice?

      Check out Watchtower! Auto-update your containers. Don’t forget to set WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP to true, or your disk will be filled with old images.

        Thanks! I’ll check that out, I’m really loving how quick and easy docker has been so far.

      Did you use docker compose file or just run a command to start the container?

      Edit: I always use compose files. For that you can do the following:

      docker compose pull
      docker compose down
      docker compose up -d
      

      You don’t technically need the stop, but I’ve found once or twice in the past where it was good to stop because of image dependencies that I forgot to put in my compose.

      For running a command directly I found this website that seems to summarize it pretty well I think:

        Yes, I used docker compose. Do I need to do anything to clean up with this method?

          Now that you mention it, I always do a

          docker system prune -f
          

          This will clean up old images that are no longer used. I setup an alias command in Linux to do all of those commands.

          I just named it docker_update and saved it in my ~/.bashrc

            I see someone mention watchtower, while not a bad thing, I just prefer to manually update. This helps to ensure any breaking changes don’t break my system. Especially with something like Immich at it’s had a lot of them recently as they work towards stable. I just generally subscribe to their release and do updates as necessary.

      If you set up using compose and don’t have the version pinned:

      dockee compose down && docker compose pull jellyfin && docker compose up -d

        What about if I am using Podman and have the container as a systemd unit file?

    Shame about the network location regression. That’s the only thing that keeps my kodi device from taking 5-15 seconds to load each sub menu.
