Update

It is important to keep your Media Server up to date for security reasons. When you update your Media Server, you also update your Music, Photos, and Cinema web apps at the same time.

Updating Cardinal Media Server's Docker containers​

# Download updates
docker compose pull

# Apply them
docker compose up -d

Maintaining your docker-compose.yaml file​

Although every effort is made to avoid this, you may sometimes need to make changes to your docker-compose.yaml file. If it's required, then it will be mentioned in the release notes for that particular version.

If you choose to make changes to your docker-compose.yaml file on your own, for example changing the version of PostgreSQL, then you risk incompatability with updates.

Rolling back​

If an update introduces issues, you can roll back your Cardinal Media Server version by manually changing the version from stable to the version you need as per the available versions on Docker Hub. You should switch back to stable when your issues are fixed.
