You should **always check the [release notes/changelog](https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/src/branch/develop/CHANGELOG.md)** in case there are config deprecations, special update steps, etc.
Besides that, doing the following is generally enough:
## Switch to the akkoma user
```sh
# Using sudo
sudo -su akkoma
# Using doas
doas -su akkoma
# Using su
su -s "$SHELL" akkoma
```
## For OTP installations
```sh
# Download the new release
su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update"
# Download latest stable release
./bin/pleroma_ctl update --branch stable
# Migrate the database, you are advised to stop the instance before doing that
su akkoma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"
# Stop akkoma
./bin/pleroma stop # or using the system service manager (e.g. systemctl stop akkoma)
# Run database migrations
./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate
# Update frontend(s). See Frontend Configuration doc for more information.
./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install pleroma-fe --ref stable
# Start akkoma
./bin/pleroma daemon # or using the system service manager (e.g. systemctl start akkoma)
```
If you selected an alternate flavour on installation,

## For from source installations (using git)
Run as the `akkoma` user:
1. Go to the working directory of Akkoma (default is `/opt/akkoma`)
2. Run `git pull` [^1]. This pulls the latest changes from upstream.
3. Run `mix deps.get` [^1]. This pulls in any new dependencies.
4. Stop the Akkoma service.
5. Run `mix ecto.migrate` [^1] [^2]. This task performs database migrations, if there were any.
6. Start the Akkoma service.
```sh
# Pull in new changes
git pull
[^1]: Depending on which install guide you followed (for example on Debian/Ubuntu), you want to run `git` and `mix` tasks as `akkoma` user by adding `sudo -Hu akkoma` before the command.
[^2]: Prefix with `MIX_ENV=prod` to run it using the production config file.
# Run with production configuration
export MIX_ENV=prod
# Download and compile dependencies
mix deps.get
mix compile
# Stop akkoma (replace with your system service manager's equivalent if different)
sudo systemctl stop akkoma
# Run database migrations
mix ecto.migrate
# Update frontend(s). See Frontend Configration doc for more information.
mix pleroma.frontend install pleroma-fe --ref stable
# Start akkoma (replace with your system service manager's equivalent if different)
sudo systemctl start akkoma
