Updating

Before updating

See instructions for v0.3.

  1. Backup the database
  2. verify that usernames are unique do not clash and fix manually if necessary
  3. verify that emails are unique and do not clash and fix manually if necessary
  4. delete the api.secret_key from config file

Use docker image tryffel/virtualpaper:v0.3 or tryffel/virtualpaper:v0.3-arm64.

Note: this update will introduce database migrations that may potentially fail. To make sure the migration goes smoothly, please run following checks before doing the update. Only proceed updating if the checks pass, and test again after you have fixed possible conflicts. If there are only a few users, it’s okay to check the values from the admin UI, but the database query will give exact results.
