How to properly update Outline server?
Github says 1.9.0 is out for a few months now. Yet my Outline Manager reports that my server is still 1.6.1. I see that the latest docker image (the one the server is running) is still 1.6.1 (https://quay.io/repository/outline/shadowbox?tab=tags&tag=stable)
- How can I check the actual version of the server?
- How do I properly upgrade Outline server and keep it up to date?
Indeed, this is very unfriendly to the game of cat and mouse. We are still using 1.6.1, so it will be meaningless to update github to 1.9.1. I created it using the command on July 1, 2022, and it is still 1.6.1
In install script download container quay.io/outline/shadowbox:stable Stable 1.6.1 updated a year ago
And in install script we can change url to container #You may set the following environment variables, overriding their defaults: #SB_IMAGE: The Outline Server Docker image to install, e.g. quay.io/outline/shadowbox:nightly But where find this new container )
If you have installed Outline-Server using the official scripts, then the watchtower is already configured to update the server image automatically. As @gitcoinkuang already mentioned if you install a fresh copy, you will still see 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 as the version of your server. It seems someone has forgotten to update the version code in shadowbox package.json since the version is fetched from there. It's likely you are using the latest version so no worries.
The problem is that script installed this container: quay.io/outline/shadowbox:stable
According to registry it was updated last time 2 years ago.
Watchtower updates container only if container has changed for the chosen tag. Stable is stable for 2 years now ;)
Do I miss something?
Just to clear up the confusion, 1.9.0 from the original description referred to the Manager version, the server version at the moment was indeed 1.6.1.
Seems this can be closed, as new server versions are apparently installed automatically. The problem was a year-long pause in releases combined with server vs Manager confusino.
