When/How to Update

[ChrisI]

I am running NextPVR in a Docker container on my Qnap NAS.  There are no problems.

How often does NextPVR update? 

How do I find out what version I am running, and what the latest version is?

If I decide to update, do I just search the Docker Hub and choose install?  Or do I need to remove the old container first, and start over?

In the web app, the Settings-About page shows the currently installed version, and lets you know if a new version is available. If you wanted, you could also subscribe to the Announcements forum on here, and it'll email you when a new version is posted.

I'm not sure whether QNAP provides you any GUI tools to update docker containers.

On my Synology NAS, it has GUI tools to install, but no real upgrade facility, so instead have to ssh into the box and run some commands:

Code:

sudo docker pull nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable
sudo docker run -d --name nextpvr --volume /volume1/NPVR/config:/config --volume /volume1/NPVR/recordings:/recordings --volume /volume1/NPVR/recordings:/buffer --publish 8866:8866 --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable

Thank you.

Once it is setup, I completely forgot about the web interface.

For other's reference, I did find this link on updating Containers on a QNAP:
