Docker

We don't do anything non-standard with Docker.

Configuration of the Docker container is defined in the docker-compose files, found in conf/compose/SERVICE.docker-compose.yml.

Aside from version upgrades, you will not usually need to edit the compose files.

Updates

Deploying service upgrades is relatively easy. To keep track with updates we recommend either following the projects repositories on Github, or using their RSS/Atom feeds. See the links below for project release links.

An example of deploying Mastodon upgrades:

1. Replace all occurences of the version string (eg: v4.3.6) with the newer version (eg: v4.3.8) in the file conf/compose/mastodon.docker-compose.yml
2. Re-run run.sh
