Retool selfhosted upgrade

Self Hosted Retool
1

Any advice on how to upgrade retool selfhosted? I tried asking chatgpt but it got very confusing very fast. I’m not a linux user so manipulating docker on windows containers is fairly difficult (that’s how I’m hosting it).

Any comments would be appreciated

Just checked, I’m still on 2.107.3 :smiling_face_with_tear:

Hello @bilal1,
it's really tough to advice, I guess you have to create DB backup (if not mounted), then create new container with desired version and restore your DB.

If you have volume mounted, then just set new image tag.

I guess the real issue is that I don’t really understand how the changes I made to the original deployment is saved. Is it all in the associated postgres database? So I could just copy that? The documentation on retool selfhosted is limited in this regard.

@bilal1 , just backup your postgres db first from the container. Instructions on how to dump can be found Here. The us the upgrade procedure from Here to upgrade Retool.
As you’re quite a bit behind, upgrade in multiple steps.
