Document process of upgrading openbalena instance
We should document how a user can update their openbalena instance from one release to the next.

Hello! Any update on this? The support thread is not visible, can anyone paste the relative steps at least?
Thank you
The current approach is to maintain a checkout of openBalena and regularly update it with git pull
. All instance-specific configuration -- i.e. the config
directory and Docker volumes -- will not be touched. Do check the project repository here on Github beforehand however, because there may be breaking changes you should be aware of.
