✨ Updating the bot

Before updating the bot, always take a backup of your db/data.sqlite file.

To update the bot, follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the bot
  2. Take a backup of your db/data.sqlite file
    • If you're using a different supported database, take database backups from there
  3. Download the latest version of the bot from https://github.com/Dragory/modmailbot/releases/latest
  4. Extract the new version's files over the old files
  5. Read the CHANGELOG to see if there are any config changes you have to make
    • Especially note changes to supported Node.js versions!
  6. Start the bot:
    • If you're using start.bat to run the bot, just run it again
    • If you're running the bot via command line, first run npm ci and then start the bot again

👉 If you run into any issues, join the support server for help!
