Update the Profinity Docker image

Docker does not update a running container, so the latest tag only moves when you pull a newer image. To move to a newer Profinity image, use the compose file from Install Profinity with Docker. To upgrade a 2.2 container, read Upgrade from Profinity 2.2 first.

Before you start:

  • Back up the host folder that the compose file mounts at /var/lib/prohelion/profinity, as described in Back up and restore.

  • Check that the compose file mounts a host folder at /var/lib/prohelion/profinity, because Docker discards data kept anywhere else when it replaces the container.

  • In the directory that holds the compose file, pull the newer image:

    docker compose pull

  • Start Profinity with the new image:

    docker compose up -d

Configuration and profiles are kept in the mounted volume. Open http://localhost:18080 on the local machine to check that the sign-in page loads, as described in Sign in.
