Update from docker 4.2 to latest release

Community Support
1

Hello,
We are using rocket chat docker with a composer file and running at the moment version 4.20

In the composer file the image is set to rocket.chat because i understand the docu like this, that this is the official and stable release.

I run the following commands to update the docker image to the newest version 4.6, this is the latest stable release, isn’t it?

docker pull registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:latest

docker-compose stop rocketchat

docker-compose rm rocketchat

docker-compose up -d rocketchat

After this commands the version is still 4.20
What did i wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Examine your docker-compose file. It sounds like 4.2 is hardcodwd.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
in the docker-compose file the image is rocket.chat

Based on this docu (Available Images - Rocket.Chat Docs)
rocket.chat is the offical image and stable.

Or did i misunderstand something?
My docker-compose looks like this

version: '2'

services:
  rocketchat:
    image: rocket.chat
    command: >
      bash -c
        "for (( ; ; )); do
          node main.js &&
          s=$$? && break || s=$$?;
          echo \"Could not start Rocket.Chat. Waiting 5 secs...\";
          sleep 5;
        done; (exit $$s)"
    restart: unless-stopped

        done;

    depends_on:

          s=$$? && break || s=$$?;
          echo \"Could not reach MongoDB. Waiting 5 secs ...\";
          sleep 5;
        done; (exit $$s)"
    depends_on:
      - mongo

Thanks very much for the help.

You should probably try to use rocketchat/rocket.chat as the image. According to their docker hub page, the latest tag is 4.6.2, pushed 5 days ago.

Hi,
I’m new to this forum, so please be kind to me :wink:
@vmsman: Thx a lot for your tutorial! I tried it and everything worked fine until the command of building the migrator image. It looks like as if it finishes, but after waiting at least another 10 minutes, my rocketchat (which worked fine with version 4.6.3) doesn’t come up anymore…any ideas on what could have gone wrong?
Thx a lot for your help!

@hergl can you be more specific? It sounds like you meant that you had problems with the migration from the mmap database engine to the wiredTiger database engine. If this is the case, make sure that you perform the migration to wiredTiger while still at MongoDB v4.0.x.
