Upgrading from v0.15.0 to v0.16.0

Upgrading from v0.15.0 to v0.16.0 is fairly straightforward, and only requires runing postgres migrations. This guide will walk you through the process of upgrading your Dittofeed instance.

Step 1: Setting Up Your `docker-compose.lite.yaml` File

First, add the environment variable BOOTSTRAP: "false" to your docker-compose.lite.yaml file, if it isn’t set already. This will prevent your lite instance from running bootstrap operations when it restarts. Next, make sure you have an admin-cli instance specified in our docker-compose.lite.yaml file. We’ll be using this service to run our migrations. Your docker-compose.lite.yaml file should look something like this:

...
services:
  lite:
    image: dittofeed/dittofeed-lite:${IMAGE_TAG:-v0.15.0}
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    depends_on:
      - postgres
      - temporal
      - clickhouse-server
    environment:
      <<: *backend-app-env
      # uncomment while upgrading dittofeed
      BOOTSTRAP: "false"
    env_file:
      - .env
    networks:
      - dittofeed-network-lite
  # useful for upgrading dittofeed
  admin-cli:
    image: dittofeed/dittofeed-lite:${IMAGE_TAG:-v0.16.0}
    entrypoint: []
    profiles: ["admin-cli"]
    command: tail -f /dev/null
    tty: true
    depends_on:
      - postgres
      - temporal
      - clickhouse-server
    environment:
      <<: *backend-app-env
    env_file:
      - .env
    networks:
      - dittofeed-network-lite
...

Step 2: Start the `admin-cli` Service

Next, run the following command to start your admin-cli service:

docker compose --profile admin-cli -f docker-compose.lite.yaml up admin-cli -d

Step 3: Run the Migrations

Run the migrations before deploying the new version of Dittofeed:

./scripts/admin-lite.sh prisma migrate deploy

Step 4: Upgrade Your `docker-compose.lite.yaml` File

Upgrade the version in your docker-compose.lite.yaml file to v0.16.0:

...
services:
  lite:
    image: dittofeed/dittofeed-lite:${IMAGE_TAG:-v0.16.0}
...

Now restart your lite instance:

docker compose -f docker-compose.lite.yaml up lite -d --force-recreate

Step 5: Stop the `admin-cli` Service

Finally, stop the admin-cli service:

docker compose --profile admin-cli -f docker-compose.lite.yaml stop admin-cli
