I haven't done it with docker. Have you looked at the docker config that specifies the rc version

We definitely want Thomas to make a snapshot of the server right before we make any changes so that way we can easily just revert everything and only lose like at most an hour

I assume it's something like this. Is this what Michael tried? https://forums.rocket.chat/t/solved-please-help-how-to-update-rocket-chat-on-docker/6672

We tried that last night but it screwed it up

Something was wrong with the DB and it was a janky version of RC

Oh, this is why we disabled auto update

The db has to go through schema updates as well, I'll look into how we do that

Ok thank you

Mike said you have to do it by minor release, you can't just go right to the next major. Typical

That probably is the case

It was a major headache in the past and would just wreck the server automatically one day

Updating is not always best with RC, it breaks a lot of stuff usually, especially visually and new features have to be disabled and hidden. I agree that we should for possible security fixes, but it also has a risk.

The only things we absolutely care about are the number hashes, and screenshot notification

Everything else is fluff

I believe

That'll probably work still

We actually tried it yesterday and it broke the numbers. We got it to work thanks to Matthew but the server kept crashing.

Yeah rocket chat says they recommend updating one version at a time to make sure that the database updates properly

That's a pain

Ah ok, been there.

I suppose we should make a test droplet with the same info and run the updates there first?

That's possible and probably the best thing to do. Or we could just run One update at a time and make sure everything works with every single update. I don't know how many were behind

We are pretty far. We are a full major release behind

I changed Jim's password to ReclaimMuric@99

I'm starting to wonder if people don't know how to use their username correctly.

He said he wrote down the new password then I tested it on victory and it worked fine.

I suspected that as well

If you're able to communicate with him outside of rocket chat then see if you can get him back in the server using these credentials and then we might know what everyone is doing wrong. That's another reason why it would be helpful if we force people to log out of the server 7 days or something that way they learn how to log in with their credentials

I sent him a message

Most guys just sit there logged in on the app forver
