How are you completing the deployment? Is this Docker Compose? Or some other platform? How did you determine you would store the DB?
If it's gone right back to defaults, and you're using Docker Compose, what did you use to do the upgrade?
trim jolt
It'd probably better not to. As long as we know what you're using, we can probably figure it out from there.
The questions become things like
When you did the upgrade to 2026.2, was it docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d? Or some other process?
Where is the database stored? Is it a Mount bind? A Docker volume? Whatever PostgreSQL does by default?
tacit spade
can I just send u my compose.. It'll reveal what I'm using for my volumes
trim jolt
Yeah, sure
Cool, and what was the upgrade process you applied? What version were you on?
tacit spade
2025-12 > I just went into the docker compose and changed the version number to 2026.2
trim jolt
And then docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d?
tacit spade
docker compose pull then docker compose up -d
trim jolt
OK, so no docker compose down at all?
tacit spade
i did do docker compose down before I did docker compose pull
trim jolt
So, and it's been a while since I played with docker compose, but docker compose down destroys all the things in your docker-compose.yaml file.
To do an update without losing your data, you simply
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
This will take into account what you already have before it decides what it needs to rebuild

question do I need redis?
tacit spade
so if I do remove redis it'll still work
trim jolt
Yup
tacit spade
can I remove it without doing docker compose down?
I'm guessing that's what --remove-orphans is for
trim jolt
Yup. Exactly what I was about to tell you
tacit spade
ok, I'll try it when I return from being out in my car, thanks very much for your help and your time
trim jolt
No problems. If you encounter issues, feel free to ping me, but you should be good from here

That depends. Docker volumes and external mounts won't be destroyed by docker compose down
