Updating AliasVault

To update AliasVault to the latest version, run the install script with the update option. This will pull the latest version of AliasVault from GitHub and restart all containers.

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.

Updating to the latest available version

To update to the latest version, run the install script with the update option. The script will check for the latest version and prompt you to confirm the update. Follow the prompts to complete the update.

./install.sh update

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

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.

./install.sh install <version>

# Example:
./install.sh install 0.7.0
