Backup & Upgrade

DockLog keeps important state in the mapped data directory when auth mode is enabled. Back up that folder before upgrading or migrating hosts.

Backup the data directory

Archive ./data regularly so SQLite users and audit records can be restored after migration.

Pull the latest tag, recreate the container, and keep the persistent volume attached.

Docker Compose

bash

docker pull aimldev/docklog:latest
docker compose up -d --force-recreate

docker run

bash

docker pull aimldev/docklog:latest
docker stop docklog && docker rm docklog
# Re-run your original docker run command with the new image tag

Restore tip

Restoring the SQLite file into the same mapped volume is usually enough to bring users and settings back online.
