How to Update CDM-Server

If you want to update your CDM-Server instance to a new version, the steps are quite simple:

Step 1: Take a Backup

Please see this page for database backup instructions.

You should also make a copy of the root directory of the whole current CDM installation folder before upgrading to a newer version. It enables you to roll back to the previous version on upgrade failures.

Step 2: Update

You need to download the new version and (re)start the server.

This is essentially, Step 2, Step 4 and Step 5 of installation process.

So just follow those steps again. In other words:

  • Follow Installation Step 2 (Download the Docker Compose and Other Files)
  • Follow Installation Step 4 (Download the CDM Images)
  • Start the server

Step 3: On Failures

Please see this page for database restore instructions.

If it didn’t help, delete the whole current CDM installation folder and replace it with your copy which you have made in Step 1 above.
