ilja e02eb8de3e Add OTP to updating.md
* I removed the Update section from the OTP install and added it to updating.md
* I also added a link to the updating.md from the OTP install page
* I added a Questions section to the OTP install, similar to the debian_based_en.md
* Restructured the updating.md a bit

I would very much also like to link to the changelog, but I don't know how to do it because I can't find the page in the docs?

Updating your instance

You should always check the release notes/changelog in case there are config deprecations, special update special update steps, etc.

Besides that, doing the following is generally enough:

For OTP installations

# Download the new release
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl update"

# Migrate the database, you are advised to stop the instance before doing that
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate"

For from source installations (using git)

  1. Go to the working directory of Pleroma (default is /opt/pleroma)
  2. Run git pull. This pulls the latest changes from upstream.
  3. Run mix deps.get. This pulls in any new dependencies.
  4. Stop the Pleroma service.
  5. Run mix ecto.migrate1 . This task performs database migrations, if there were any.
  6. Start the Pleroma service.

  1. Prefix with MIX_ENV=prod to run it using the production config file. ↩︎
