# Updating your instance
1. Go to the working directory of Pleroma (default is `/opt/pleroma`)
2. Run `git pull`. This pulls the latest changes from upstream.
3. Run `mix deps.get`. This pulls in any new dependencies.
4. Stop the Pleroma service.
5. Run `mix ecto.migrate`[^1]. This task performs database migrations, if there were any.
6. Start the Pleroma service.

[^1]: Prefix with `MIX_ENV=prod` to run it using the production config file.
Move out of Gitlab Wiki I understand that this change is quite unreadable and hard to review, sorry for forgetting to do atomic commits. This patch does not change too much content wise, it just * Gets everything from gitlab wiki * Removes some specific gitlab hacks * Formats all documentation file names to be in snake case so they look the same way as our code does 2019-03-28 12:46:30 -04:00			`# Updating your instance`
Instruct to stop the service only after git pulling and getting deps to minimize downtimes 2019-04-01 09:23:32 -04:00			1. Go to the working directory of Pleroma (default is `/opt/pleroma`)

restart makes no sense here as we instructed to stop the service before 2019-04-01 09:26:46 -04:00			`6. Start the Pleroma service.`
