Description
I am using RC 7.1.0 on Fedora and I would like to update.
So I follow the steps as described here: https://docs.rocket.chat/docs/deploy-with-docker-docker-compose
But that does not work. My RC still starts in version 7.1.0

I’m afraid you have told us almost nothing.
Deployment Method:
That would help…
How is it deployed at the minute. Docker? Another method?
What’s in your .env and compose file?
Have a good read here on how to ask well documented questions.

Hi Reetp,
As my topic described, it is a docker instance.
In my .env-file, I defined the release to be RELEASE=7.3.0 since it is mentione the documentation, that there should always be a release leve not just “latest”.

Solved it.
Solution:
Edit the .env-file to the desired Release.
Edit the docker-compose.yml to the according version
services:
5 rocketchat:
6 image: registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:7.3.0
7 restart: always
8 labels:
Then follow the steps:
Stop the docker
rm the volume
start it up again: docker: docker compose up -d rocketchat
Okay solved

Glad you solved it.
Yes, you should NEVER use ‘latest’ unless you have a death wish, love nasty surprises, or are a developer.
Again I can’t stress enough the importance of giving as much information as possible when asking for help.
Note you should consider your mongo version - and what you will do about upgrading it in a docker container.
