How to update Dokploy on your VPS

Update Dokploy from the panel or with its official installer, without touching the Docker version, and keep the operating system up to date.

You decide when Dokploy is updated: we do not apply updates on our own.

Before you update

Back up your databases (how) and, if you are jumping to a new major version, read the release notes in the Dokploy documentation.

From the panel

Under Settings → Web Server, check for a new version and update from there.

From the terminal

Log in over SSH as root and run the official installer in update mode:

curl -sSL https://dokploy.com/install.sh | sh -s update

Afterwards, check that the services are running with docker service ls: dokploy, dokploy-postgres and dokploy-redis should show 1/1.

Do not update Docker yourself

The Docker packages are held at the version Dokploy expects, so that a system update does not change them. Do not force their update: if Dokploy needs another version, its own updater will say so.

Update the operating system

apt update && apt upgrade -y

The Docker packages stay as they are. If it asks you to reboot, reboot: Dokploy and your applications start again on their own.
