Updating Pawkey

Updating Pawkey is an easy and straightforward process for both standalone and docker installs.

Docker

You just simply pull-and-deploy, Like this:

sudo docker pull git.boykissers.com/pawkey/next:dev
sudo docker compose up -d

And that’s it, remember to be in the Pawkey directory or wherever your install lives.

Standalone installs are more tricky but still straightforward.

The instance HAS to be offline for the upgrade process

First, you need to pull the changes from the repository:

git pull

Then re-build the release and check if it had any new migrations:

bun run build
bun run init

After doing that and seeing no errors, you can start the instance back up.

bun run start

Or, if you’re using the systemd service:

sudo systemctl start pawkey
