Updates

Dockyrd updates itself from signed GitHub releases. Your apps, databases and the proxy keep running during an update.

How updates are found

Dockyrd checks for a new release once a day. When one is available, the sidebar shows Update available. Applying it is manual by default; you can enable automatic installs for patch releases in Settings.

What an update does

1. Downloads the release and verifies its SHA-256 checksum and cosign signature.
2. Takes a snapshot of the control-plane database.
3. Swaps the binary atomically and keeps the previous one.
4. Restarts the service. Caddy and your containers are not restarted.
5. Rolls back to the previous binary and database automatically if the new version does not report ready within 60 seconds.

The proxy only restarts when a release ships a new Caddy image. Release notes say so, and the restart takes about one second.
