   1 # Updating your instance
   2
   3 You should **always check the [release notes/changelog](https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/src/branch/develop/CHANGELOG.md)** in case there are config deprecations, special update steps, etc.
   4
   5 Besides that, doing the following is generally enough:
   6
   7 ## For OTP installations
   8
   9 ```sh
  10 # Download the new release
  11 su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update"
  12
  13 # Migrate the database, you are advised to stop the instance before doing that
  14 su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"
  15 ```
  16
  17 ## For from source installations (using git)
  18
  19 1. Go to the working directory of Akkoma (default is `/opt/akkoma`)
  20 2. Run `git pull` [^1]. This pulls the latest changes from upstream.
  21 3. Run `mix deps.get` [^1]. This pulls in any new dependencies.
  22 4. Stop the Akkoma service.
  23 5. Run `mix ecto.migrate` [^1] [^2]. This task performs database migrations, if there were any.
  24 6. Start the Akkoma service.
  25
  26 [^1]: Depending on which install guide you followed (for example on Debian/Ubuntu), you want to run `git` and `mix` tasks as `akkoma` user by adding `sudo -Hu akkoma` before the command.
  27 [^2]: Prefix with `MIX_ENV=prod` to run it using the production config file.
