How to update your n8n to Version 2.0 (self hosted)

For me it was a bit tricky to find out how to update my self hosted n8n to the new Version 2.0

Therefore I want to share my experience here:

What to do?

Open your docker-compose.yml

Change only this line:

image: n8nio/n8n

to:

image: n8nio/n8n:2.0.0

And then run

docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

For the next update, e.g. to Version 2.0.1 you must change the line above again.
You can also change it to

image: n8nio/n8n:2.0

Then you will receive Bug Fixes, because it will update automatically to 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and so on when you run

docker compose pull

Or, use this:

image: n8nio/n8n:latest

This will save you from having to manually change your docker-compose.yml and is the way to go if you always want to pull the latest available stable version. Of course, stick with your method if you want control over which version you’re pulling.
