Did you use docker compose file or just run a command to start the container?
Edit: I always use compose files. For that you can do the following:
docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
You don’t technically need the stop, but I’ve found once or twice in the past where it was good to stop because of image dependencies that I forgot to put in my compose.
For running a command directly I found this website that seems to summarize it pretty well I think:
I just setup Jellyfin on docker the other day for the first time.
It just occurred to me that I don’t know how to update docker.
Any advice?
Check out Watchtower! Auto-update your containers. Don’t forget to set WATCHTOWER_CLEANUP to true, or your disk will be filled with old images.
Thanks! I’ll check that out, I’m really loving how quick and easy docker has been so far.

Yes, I used docker compose. Do I need to do anything to clean up with this method?
Now that you mention it, I always do a
docker system prune -fThis will clean up old images that are no longer used. I setup an alias command in Linux to do all of those commands.
I just named it docker_update and saved it in my ~/.bashrc
alias docker_update="docker compose pull && docker compose down && docker compose up -d && docker system prune -f"If you set up using compose and don’t have the version pinned:
dockee compose down && docker compose pull jellyfin && docker compose up -dWhat about if I am using Podman and have the container as a systemd unit file?
