Before You Begin

You can see the latest available version of AliasVault on GitHub.

Before updating, it’s recommended to backup your database and other important data. You can do this by making a copy of the database and certificates directories.

Standard Update Process

For most version updates, you can use the standard update process:

./install.sh update

Tip: to skip the confirmation prompts and automatically proceed with the update, use the -y flag: ./install.sh update -y

Version-Specific Upgrade Guides

Some versions require additional steps during upgrade. If you are upgrading from an older version, please check the relevant upgrade guide below:

Additional Update Options

Updating the installer script

The installer script can check for and apply updates to itself. This is done as part of the update command. However you can also update the installer script separately with the update-installer command. This is useful if you want to update the installer script without updating AliasVault itself, e.g. as a separate step during CI/CD pipeline.

./install.sh update-installer

Tip: to skip the confirmation prompts and automatically proceed with the update, use the -y flag: ./install.sh update-installer -y

Installing a specific version

To install a specific version and skip the automatic version checks, run the install script with the install option and specify the version you want to install. Note that downgrading is not supported officially and may lead to unexpected issues.

./install.sh install <version>

# Example:
./install.sh install 0.7.0
