### Description

I followed the official documentation ([https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/updating/#docker-installation](https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/updating/#docker-installation)) to upgrade Rocket.Chat (3.0.12) to the latest version, but the admin console says that I am still on 3.0.12.

I also followed the steps written here: [https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/docker-containers/docker-compose/](https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/docker-containers/docker-compose/) changing `develop` to `latest`.

```bash
docker pull rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest
docker-compose stop rocketchat
docker-compose rm rocketchat
docker-compose up -d rocketchat

```

What do I need to do to upgrade from 3.0.12 to 3.1.0? Should I just restart the VM?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I was not referring the proper image on docker-compose.yml

[https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/docker-containers/#6-create-the-docker-composeyml-file--local-directories](https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/docker-containers/#6-create-the-docker-composeyml-file--local-directories)

I changed image from `rocket.chat:latest` to `rocketchat/rocket.chat:3.1.1` and it worked (To change `rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest` should work too).

So what I did was:

- `docker pull rocketchat/rocket.chat:3.1.1`
- Change the repository `docker-compose.yml` refers from `rocket.chat:latest` to `rocketchat/rocket.chat:3.1.1`
- `docker-compose stop rocketchat`
- `docker-compose rm rocketchat`
- `docker-compose up -d rocketchat`

I hope this helps.

If you only pull the image, your data will not be lost.

For the official documentation about updating with `docker-compose`, consult: [https://docs.rocket.chat/installation/docker-containers/docker-compose](https://docs.rocket.chat/installation/docker-containers/docker-compose)
