Help with Updating Docker Image

Help

I’m using docker-compose stop, pull, start to update my vaultwarden image.

Docker images shows 3 different image ID’s for the server but docker ps shows the running server using the oldest image id.

The console outputs are:

[dave@centos8 vaultwarden]$ sudo docker images

It seems that the new version is being downloaded but the original version is the one that is restarted. Or am I not understanding the upgrade process?

You need to remove the running container and recreate it.
Restarting will always use the currently configured container image and never a newly pulled version.

Thanks for that, I deleted the container and older images and all is now OK.

I was following the guide on this link Updating the vaultwarden image · dani-garcia/vaultwarden Wiki · GitHub which does mention having to delete the container, but when using docker-compose it only said to stop, pull and start. Maybe that should be docker-compose down, pull, start instead.

with docker-compose a simple.

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

Should be enough.
Ill see if i can update that documentation to be better

Thanks, I’m a docker noob so monkey see. Not knowing the nuances of some of the basic commands tripped me up.
