Updates

What This Page Is For

Use this page to update BEC without losing the persistent database volume.

Update With Docker Compose

From the folder that contains docker-compose.yml:

Before deploying a Compose file that requires the SQLite web password, add a strong, unique value to the existing .env:

openssl rand -base64 32

SQLITE_WEB_PASSWORD=""

Paste the generated value between the quotes. The deployment fails safely when the variable is missing or empty.

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Then check the services:

docker compose ps
docker compose logs -f dashboard
docker compose logs -f jobs_runner

Update With Dockge

If you manage the stack with Dockge:

1. open the BEC stack;
2. click Update or Pull;
3. redeploy the stack;
4. check logs and service health.

Keep Dockge private and admin-only.

Do Not Delete The Volume

Avoid this command during normal updates:

docker compose down -v

It removes the persistent database volume, including BEC runtime data.
