Update Enterprise Glossary & Sync Service

Updating requires only replacing the image TAR files and adjusting the .env. All persistent data (application data, uploads, sync configuration) is stored in named volumes and is not affected.

Step-by-Step Update

1. Download the newest version of the ContainerEG_<Version>.zip and extract the files.

2. Copy the new TAR files into your deployment folder.

   1. The TAR files must sit in the same directory as run.ps1. The filenames are derived from .env at runtime: <IMAGE_WEB_NAME>-<IMAGE_TAG>.tar and <IMAGE_SYNC_NAME>-<IMAGE_TAG>.tar

3. Update .env

   1. Open <deployment-folder>/.env and set IMAGE_TAG to the new version or place the new .env file in the <deployment-folder>and change the certificate password to your password.

4. Stop the running stack (powershell)

# Docker
.\stop.ps1

# Podman
podman stop localhost-enterpriseglossary localhost-enterpriseglossary-sync

For Podman: Use the name of your running containers. They might be different than shown above. To check for the names enter podman ps -a

4. Start with the new images (powershell)

# Docker
.\run.ps1

# Podman
.\run-podman.ps1

5. Verify

# Check which image is actually running
docker ps --format "table {{.Names}}`t{{.Image}}`t{{.Status}}"

The IMAGE column should show the new tag. Then open the app in your browser:
