How to update your Streamr node
Keeping your node up to date is very important as new releases contain bug fixes and performance improvements. The exact update instructions may vary based on the environment that the node has been installed in.
Docker update guide
This guide is meant for Linux and MacOS. Windows Powershell commands will be slightly different.
To update your Streamr node from v100.0.0-testnet-three.6 to latest (for example), run:
sudo docker stop streamr && sudo docker rm streamr && sudo docker container prune --force
Then run and following command:
sudo docker images
Copy the image ID (IMAGE_ID) from the output and use it in the following command. In this next command you'll be removing your old Docker image.
sudo docker rmi IMAGE_ID
Run your updated node with the new node version,
sudo docker run -p 32200:32200 --name streamr --restart unless-stopped -d -v $(cd ~/.streamrDocker && pwd):/home/streamr/.streamr streamr/node
Your updated node will now be running. As usual, you can checkup on it with
sudo docker logs streamr --follow
npm update guide
Firstly stop your node, if you're running your node with PM2 for example, then it will be something like:
pm2 list
pm2 stop streamr
Next, globally install the node upgrade:
npm install -g @streamr/node
And then you can run the node:
`streamr-broker`
