How can I upgrade metabase avoiding any data loss?

[tonytmt]

Hello and thank you very much for your tutorial.

All is running pretty well...

One question that I need help with is upgrading the metabase image without any data loss.

They have just updated to version v0.42 (https://www.metabase.com/docs/v0.42/)

https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/upgrading-metabase.html

Is possible to just compose down and compose up again as your tutorial says or I need to modify something else?

Thank you

I've tested just running docker-compose down and after that pulled the latest version from https://hub.docker.com/r/metabase/metabase and at the end, I've changed the version inside the docker-compose.yml file

I've tested different versions using the tags to get the image...

If I downgrade the image I get some errors related to tables which are not existents in the database depending where I'm navigating but if I do an upgrade seems the migrations take care about the new tables needed to be created.

Can it be done this way or am I just being lucky and there really hasn't been any change in the metabase db tables since version 0.41?

Hi @tonytmt
Edit the docker-compose.yml
Add to the line Metabase: image: metabase/metabase:latest
Save the modification
In console :
sudo docker-compose pull

sudo docker-compose down

sudo docker-compose up -d

Have a nice day ;)
