docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Admin Update Checker

The Admin Panel shows a banner when a newer version is available on GitHub:

• Docker installs: Shows the docker pull + restart commands
• Git installs: One-click self-update button (pulls, installs, restarts)
• Includes a confirmation dialog with backup recommendation

What Gets Preserved

Your data is stored in the mounted volumes and survives updates:

• Database (./data/travel.db) — all trips, users, settings
• Uploads (./uploads/) — photos, documents, covers, avatars
• Backups (./data/backups/) — auto-backup archives
• JWT secret (./data/.jwt_secret) — keeps sessions valid after update

Checking Your Version

Click your profile icon in the top-right corner — the version number is shown at the bottom of the dropdown menu (e.g. TREK v2.7.1).

Database Migrations

Database migrations run automatically on startup. When you update to a new version, TREK detects any pending migrations and applies them before the server starts. No manual steps are required.

Cache Invalidation

TREK automatically invalidates the PWA service worker cache when a new version is detected. Users will receive the latest assets after the update without needing to manually clear their browser cache.
