How to update self hosted kit

Guys, how do you update the self hosted starter kit?

I looked over tutorials, I tried pulling images, they are getting pulled inside image section in docker.

There’s no step by step tutorial on how to update it.

Even chatgpt failed me.

I mean, yes, you do the starter kit but how do you update it without having to delete everything

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

n8n version: you’re on 1.59.4, which was released 3 weeks ago and is 4 versions behind the latest and greatest n8n

Running via: docker
Operating system: Windows

hello @MFlo

It’s described in the docs

But the command there is pretty old.

So you’ll need to perform the next steps:

  1. check that you have a volume called n8n_data
  2. pull the new image
  3. stop and delete the old container docker stop n8n, docker rm n8n
  4. start the new one with the command
    docker run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n
