Updating & Backups

How to stay up to date, keep your data safe, and fix the stuff that inevitably breaks.

Updating

New versions get pushed as Docker images. Updating is the same three commands every time:

Terminalbash
cd ~/jockeybox

# Grab the latest images
docker compose pull

# Restart with the new version
docker compose up -d

# Clean up the old images
docker image prune -f
Read before you update
Check the release notes first, especially for major version bumps. Sometimes there are config changes you need to make.

Version Pinning

If you don't want surprise updates, pin to a specific version instead of :latest:

docker-compose.ymlyaml
# Always get the newest thing
image: ghcr.io/sunbrolynk/jockeybox-server:latest

# Lock to an exact release
image: ghcr.io/sunbrolynk/jockeybox-server:1.2.0

# Follow a major version (still gets patches and minor updates)
image: ghcr.io/sunbrolynk/jockeybox-server:1

Backups & Exports

Coming Soon
Backup and export functionality is being built directly into the JockeyBox UI — both the web dashboard and the mobile app. This section will be updated with full documentation and screenshots once that's ready.

Migrating Between Tiers

Coming Soon
Moving data between self-hosted and cloud (in either direction) will be handled through the app's built-in export/import tools. Documentation coming once the feature ships.

Troubleshooting

Coming Soon
A proper troubleshooting guide is in the works. In the meantime, if you hit a wall — open an issue on GitHub or email support@jockey-box.app.
